I thought I would share this nugget of information with the development community.
I tried to register an application with Facebook after their recent changes. The API key was missing… or so I thought. The only mention to an API was the Graph API Explorer, which is not what I was looking for.
I was perplexed. It was there the last last time I setup an app (which admittedly might have been a few weeks ago). What the heck?!?!
So I did what any other developer does when stumped, I Googled it! Turns out that as part of the recent changed they combined the API Key and their App ID. So if you need the API key, use the Facebook App ID.

It would have been nice for them to make that a bit more easier to determine, but I digress.

I tried to redo my app id and my fblistconnect button on my site quit working. I redid my site. I do not know much about the fb app id. But I am going to create a new one and hope it works. I did read somewhere not to change the existing app id, but to create a new one.
