Thanks for creating this app, it appears to do everything I was hoping
for, however I am having issues with it showing up on my page

http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=runningonbeer.com&init=quick#/pages/RunningOnBeercom/159360565504?ref=search&sid=746239321.4203053522..1

when I run the app http://apps.facebook.com/runningonbeer it looks
perfect, however when I followed the instructions it appears as a tab
called boxes on the page and only displays the headlines.

Is there anyway for this to show up on the main page (listed above)?
And if so, can I get it to pull in the feed like the app does?

Thanks,

Steve

If I understand your question you want to add your app as a tab. This
isn't something you can curently do. You can add it to your sidebar of
your profile or to the boxes but not as it's own tab.

I hope that clears up your question.

Brooke,

Actually, I want when you go to the main page that the blog shows up.
So if you go to
http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=runningonbeer.com&init=quick#/pages/RunningOnBeercom/159360565504?ref=search&sid=746239321.4203053522..1
I would like the blog to show up there, on that page. Currently it
only shows up in a tab named boxes, instead on being on the page that
you get if you searched facebook for runningonbeer.com and then chose
the page, aka the main or home page (I don't know the facebook
terminology, but the first page you see when you click on a page).

Is this how the app is supposed to work, showing up as a tab, or can
it be integrated into the main page?

When I go to facebook and search on runningonbeer.com, I get a number
of results.

One is a "Page" in FB terminology:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/RunningOnBeercom/159360565504

For that Page, the only way the WPBook will appear is as a "profile
box" - if you're an admin you can move it off the "boxes" tab and onto
the main wall/info tab if you like, but it will still be a profile box
listing most recent posts.

The application itself lives here:
http://apps.facebook.com/runningonbeer/

Which is where the posts appear in the main "canvas" - the center
section of the page.

The same is true if you add it to your profile as an individual - it
will show up as a profile box, which can be added to either your
"boxes" tab or to your main wall/info tab, but the posts themselves
only show on the main application page.

There are lots of folks who would like the blog posts added directly
to their page - for that you can use the Notes app that comes from
Facebook itself, and import and RSS feed from your blog.

I do hope in the next major revision to enable WPBook to post to
users' newsfeeds, wall, and/or notes - but I don't know when that
revision will be available - I haven't had time to devote to it in
months.
