The proceedue of installing and connect to FB is really not difficult. But due to some of the name changing, the instruction needs to be changed coorespondingly! Here it goes:

Instructions

To allow your users to login with their Facebook accounts, you must first setup an Application for your site:

  3. Type in a name (i.e. the name of your blog). This is what Facebook will show on the login popup.
