I cannot add the app I made to my Facebook Page
I have created the app App- http://apps.facebook.com/uberapparatus
But I cannot figure out how to add to my Facebook page -
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Uber-Apparatus/96450389209

I followed the documentation at http://www.uberapparatus.com/wp-content/plugins/wpbook/instructions/index.html
but this was no help after I got to the part on how to add to my page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear the directions didn't help.

What part had you confused?

Step 5 of the directions at the url you pointed to has steps A through
E - did you get through any of them? At which point are you stuck?

If you go to this page (which is your Facebook application's own page):
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=97424659603

Do you see an "add to my page" link in the top of the left hand
column, directly below the "Go to this application" link?

Hi John,

Got it added to the page, thank you: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Uber-Apparatus/96450389209
It is posted in the left hand side of the page, is there any way to
get these to post as a facebook status each time I do a new post? Like
post in the main area of the wall with title and first part of the
post?

Thanks so much for your help,

Dean

Dean,

Currently adding the post to your feed is not possible. However, it is
something we are working on. For now I'd recommend using wordbook:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordbook. Others have said this
has worked to get their blog post as feed items. Wordbook however has
no association with WPbook meaning that the links will point to your
original blog and not your Facebook app.

Hope that helps,
Brooke

Can I post to Facebook Pages? I do not want to post to my personal
profile.

Thanks for any help,

Dean

The current WPBook doesn't do that - posting to the wall or FB status,
though I've been hoping to add that in a later version (perennially
"to come" when I find the time to work on it).

You can use the Notes application built by Facebook themselves to
accomplish this on a page, though the links to the blog articles will
point to the blog outside Facebook, not the Facebook Application view.

You can see it in action here on our Optaros (my company) FB page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Optaros/18827002865

All the updates in the center column there in the wall are driven by
the Facebook "Notes" application with "import external blog" used.
