Facebook ticker publishing error fixed

My apologies to anyone who tried to Publish a ticker on Facebook over the weekend. There was a technical issue following a server update that caused an error. It has been fixed now. Thank you for your patience.

Facebook App update

We have made a change to all of our Facebook Apps so that when you Publish the ticker to your Facebook feed, it posts the full ticker as a Photo, previously it posted as a thumbnail to your newstream.

The Photo is a cached copy of the ticker image, it doesn't update. Whenever you want to see, or publish the latest ticker image you can go to your App canvas page on Facebook.

A link to your App canvas page will appear in the left column of your home page.

You will also see the App icon in the top right menu when you are in another application.

Here are links to each of the App canvas pages on Facebook:
Lilypie App
Daisypath App
PitaPata App
LilySlim App

Page tabs on Facebook

For people with Facebook Pages, I have updated our Apps on Facebook to include Page tabs. Our Facebook App pages:
Lilypie App, Daisypath App, PitaPata App, LilySlim App

The Page tabs can be added to any Facebook Page that you have admin rights to. Facebook Pages don't include your Home page or personal Profile, they are generally created for organizations and shared interests. More about Pages on Facebook.

For instance, if your mothers' group, friends or extended family have a Facebook Page, you can each add tickers to a Page tab. The tickers are sorted so that the next event is always at the top of the Page tab. How to add a Lilypie Page tab to your Facebook Page.

Here is a screenshot of my Lilypie Page tab on Facebook:

LilySlim: Valentines Day background for Weight-loss charts

I have added a Valentines Day inspired background to the Weight loss charts on LilySlim.

You can also count down to Valentines day, with the Valentines day tickers on Daisypath.

LilySlim: Weight charts

I have added weight charts to LilySlim. A LilySlim weight chart is a free custom graphic that you can create to show changes in your weight over time.

There are just 3 steps to creating a weight chart, choose your background, choose a slider, then enter chart details and your weight at different dates. More about creating a LilySlim weight chart.

With a free LilySlim weight chart you can:

• Customise your chart by selecting from a range of hand-drawn backgrounds and icons and entering a title for your chart.
• Chart up to 52 date/weight entries.
• Set a goal weight and/or date (optional)
• Set the chart to display your weight, changes in your weight or your BMI.
• Change the width and height of the chart image with a range of sizes between 200 x 80 pixels to 400 x 400 pixels. How to change your chart size.
  
• Add it to many forums, emails, desktops, blogs, websites, mobile phones and on some Desktops -- wherever you can use a ticker.

If you have a free LilySlim account, you will be able to come back and edit your charts, or get a new copy of your code snippet without having to create a new chart. There is more about my LilySlim accounts in the My LilySlim Help section.
