How to find your facebook id or facebook admin id (aka fb:admin)

Actually I realised that there is quite a lot of false or misleading information around this subject. Finding out one's facebook id or facebook admin id (aka fb:admins) apparently creates a lot of confusion as facebook itself does not provide a comprehensive help page with this subject. What would you need it for, you may ask. Well, some facebook social plugins, like the facebook "Like" button for example, need it in order to work properly.

So here it is, select one of these 2 easy ways to get it:

Facebook Cover Photo Dimensions

Ok, so here I am again, after most of my holidays and travels completed, a post that I wanted to add some time back already but wasn't sure how to word it. Finally I came up with a very simple way of saying this.

I have looked around on the net but mostly the explanation of how facebook cover photos are sized was not very easy to understand. So finally I simply took a screen shot of mine removed the inside and here you go, the plane image you'll see attached here below.

How to leave a facebook network

*** EDITED: Unfortunately this solution does not seem to work at this stage as facebook seems to have changed their code to prevent people from being removed from their primary network. I encourage you to report this to them by filling out this form and they might eventually do it for you: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=profile_bug. As a workaround, you may choose a different network, that you are ok to keep, then you can remove your old network. If anyone reading this has a solution, please feel free to comment below. I'm however keeping the original post for the sake of history tracking. ***

I might be an exception, but it did disturb me a lot to have the name of a network added under my name in facebook when looking in friend lists, such as my friend's friend list, or when you open the link of the list of people who liked a post... etc. You might just want to get rid of your primary network for other reasons (one of the simplest, not part of it anymore), but to be honest, when I tried to remove this annoying network name from below my name, I did not find a solution up until today.

How to find the direct link (aka permalink) of a facebook post

Honestly I have looked for this information on the internet on and on but could not find anything, finally through all my clicks on different places of a facebook post, I I accidentally stumbled upon the correct one. In order to get to the direct link of a facebook post, you simply have to

How to keep the Facebook like button's language

After announcing Facebook Like button added to webeno.blogspot.com in my earlier post, I realized that the button changes language according to the country of stay of the person visiting my blog. This can cause problems (ie. cannot see the count of likes after the button) and as I write my blog in English and the word "like" is pretty much known by the blog readers' community, I decided to keep it in English.

Facebook Like button added to webeno.blogspot.com

Probably one of the easiest and fastest way to express your appreciation is using the Facebook's Like button. There are 2 ways to set it up: XFBML or iframe. The simple and fast way is iframe that however doesn't leave you much space for customization while you can do a whole lot more with the XFBML version

Fixed DIV at the bottom of a page

Ever wondered how they make it on those websites where there's a menu or options always sticking to the bottom of the page? Well, i was, so I digged a bit and found this thread: Create a fixed DIV at the bottom of a page even if the page scrolls just like Facebook's bottom menu..

It's amazing how many things you can actually do with CSS without actually having to use any script, isn't it?
