Always wanted to try out creating a [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) Application and finally took a little bit of time of and created a simple Facebook App called GaMerz.WordPress.

The application simply displays my live site traffic (users online) and the latest post for my [GaMerZ.WordPress](https://lesterchan.net/wordpress/) blog. The file is placed in the WordPress plugins folder but it does not need to get activated. If anybody wants the source code, just drop me an email.
