Facebook FBConnect integration

I started out today trying to see how someone can log in or post a comment without having to actually sign-up with the blog using FBConnect. It just so happens that there is a WordPress Plugin that does exactly that (requires php5):

For people running into various problems with plugins not working right, etc., please remember that the Remote Procedure Calls are more easily handled using PHP5+ on your server (php4 doesn’t support a lot of the required functions). While a Linux system is not crucial to host a blog on, it does make life a lot easier as well.

There are a few items necessary for this integration:

• A facebook Developer registration is required to be able to create a facebook ‘application’ required for this integration – http://www.facebook.com/developers/

After registering, you must create a new ‘application’ must be created, which gives you the API Key and the Secret Key required for this integration

• To have people be able to comment without logging in, a line of code needs to be added to comments.php in your template/theme
