How do you get them?


First you need what is called an APP or APPLICATION.

So to set up your app log into Facebook and then go to 


https://developers.facebook.com/apps

You will then see a button "create new app" click on this.


On the next page you will see boxes for "App Display Name" and "App Namespace" for these you can just enter the name of your website.


After doing the above you will be taken to the "Advanced Settings" page.


At the top of this page look for "App ID" and "App Secret". You will need to copy these and keep them somewhere safe.


WELL DONE YOU HAVE SET UP AN APP ON FACEBOOK!


This app will be the basis of other Facebook gizmos you put on your website.

This page prompts you to enter the website where you want to install your like button.
