stasnewz2000: yep16:30
stashi16:30
newz2000hey stas, the fb thing looks good16:30
newz2000I just sent you an email, but basically:16:30
newz20001. can the images be 180px instead of 200px?16:30
newz20002. Do you want to host it where it is now or do you want me to move it into a diff account?16:30
stasnewz2000: 1. I used the urls you sent me so I didn't change the images, but  I would let them as they are16:31
stas2. I don't really care, we can move it anywhere16:31
newz2000stas: some where there is a style setting the width to 200px. :-/16:32
stasas I said, I can place a load balancer in front of a couple of engines, so there wont be downtimes16:32
stasnewz2000: let me check16:32
newz2000looks like in add.fbml and widget.fbml there are references16:33
newz2000oh, just add.fbml actually16:33

staslet me upload the new version16:34
stasnewz2000: yep, that was wrong, now its better16:36
newz2000stas: cool, so are you OK w/ me promoting this button now, like it is, or would you rather us do something first?16:36
stasnope, actually I'm done16:36
stasI was waiting for your approval16:37
newz2000I think it's good. I've just added it, but like a newbie I don't know where to even see it16:37
newz2000stas: ^16:37
staswe can submit the app to FB app directory and if its ok we can promote it16:37
stasnewz2000: there are 3 steps16:37
staswhen going to app page16:38
stasclic on the upper button to add the application16:38
stasafter it you will have another button in the same place where you can use to place the widget16:38
stasclick on it16:38
stasnow you should be on /add page16:38
staschoose your favourite widget16:39
stasbu clicking use this widget16:39
stasand after you'll see add to profile button16:39
stasthat one is pretty stright telling you what to do16:39
stasand it will show you the results16:39
