  13. For those of you getting an error in Facebook, make sure you use the public link of the .html in Dropbox but shorten the link before copying.

  14. Does this mean that I really have to get an HTTPS to make an app? It's been a while since my last creation of app which allows me to make an app even with a ghost HTTPS link.

    Also how can i make google docs to host my files? I tried uploading a file in google drive and used its link as the Canvass URL and Secure Canvass URL but when I load my app page it's not working. Am I missing something? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

  17. Hi, great tutorial. I have a question. Is it possible thath every user can set his own data in page tab? E.g. user x has favorite web site y, user a has favorite web site b. Probably I should use page tab edit url, but I dont know how? Thanks
