Setting Up The Block

You will need an App ID API key from Facebook in order to use this block. It is very simple to get one, and you'll obviously need a Facebook account.

  3. Be sure to choose "no" when it asks you if it's a development version of another app.
  4. Finally, choose a category your website falls under. This doesn't affect the app, but mostly for Facebook.
  5. Click "Create App ID"
