So it seems like the recent update to Facebook this year has created quite a havoc. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m a very old school kind of guy, and I hate when things change on me. But at least when you decide to reinvent the wheel, why not provide clear documentation on how to go about doing things. Unfortunately I had to scour Google to find out how to do something as simple as adding a custom app to my fan page.

So because I have chronic short term memory, I decided to document my findings for my own reference, and to help everyone else who need to do the same thing.

So just copy and paste the following URL into your browser. Then just replace the ‘YOUR_APP_ID’ with the app id, and ‘YOUR_URL’ with the canvas url. Of course this is assuming that you’ve created a custom app.

next=YOUR_URL
