1. Add the "Developer" application to your Facebook profile and then click "Set up new application."
2. Create a name for your new Facebook application, then, upload an image, or create your own image for your application.
2. B) Optional: If you are very serious about this application, I'm sure you can pay a professional to make you something.
3. In the application settings, choose "canvas" and set FBML as the rendering method. There are two options, but chose FBML for now.
4. Using notepad, (or a WYSIWYG HTML editor- a bit more confusing) write the content that you wish to display inside your application.
5. Log in to your website server. This is where you'll be hosting the Facebook app from. Create a sub-directory called "facebook". So if you domain is for example, myfacebookapp.com, the Facebook app can be accessed from myfacebookapp.com/facebookapp

Under the facebook directory, download the application template and rename the file to index.php. Replace the API Key and the Secret key in index.php with real values and also copy-paste the HTML (that you created in Step 4) into the index.php file.
6. While you are inside the "facebook" directory, download the Facebook library and extract the files. Now use the following command to move facebook.php and other library files.
$ mv facebook-platform/client/facebook*.php .
7. Go back to your Facebook application page in the browser, click "Edit Settings" and set the values for "canvas."
P.S, sorry for the poor picture, I just used it as a general idea to demonstrate what I was saying.

Thank you, finally somebody has visited the computer lounge, and managed to find my tutorial.. But yeah, if they don't they're pretty much useless. Their last hope is to ask Relevant :love:
