How to add Poker News Facebook application
June 15, 2009Pokernews has just launched a new application in Facebook called "Poker News from PokerNews". You can add it to your profile or your Facebook Page. Here are some small guidelines on how to do it.
Step 1. Opening the application
Please go to http://apps.new.facebook.com/poker-news/ where you will find the entire Poker News application. In the right column you can select the categories you would like to see filtered. If you do not select anything, the application will show all the news stories.
Step 2. Adding it to your profile
If you want to add this application to your profile, please click "Add to profile" button at the right-bottom box called Pokernews.com Tools. A splash screen with your application preview will appear. You may then select where you want to place it – on your Wall and info Tabs or in the Box tab. Let's try Wall and Info Tabs first.
Once you have clicked the "Add" button at the bottom you are then redirected to your profile. Facebook suggests keeping it just below your friends' box. Please click the "Keep" button. Facebook adds this application to your profile, but you may drag and drop it yourself anywhere you want.
Step 3. Moving it to the Boxes tab
Boxes tab is less visible than the profile information to your friends; therefore I would recommend keeping this application in your profile. You could have moved the application to the Boxes tab by following Step 2, just using the Boxes tab instead of Wall. There is a little pencil icon next to the name of the application. If you click it, you will see 2 options: Move to Boxes tab or (I shouldn't have mentioned the second option) Remove Box. Please click 'Move to Boxes' tab.
Here you go! You are redirected to the Boxes page and you can see the application just at the top.
Of course, you can move it to any position you want simply by dragging it and dropping. Please remember that the Right column in the Boxes is narrow, therefore the looks of the application will change. If you want to return it to the Wall tab, just click on the pencil (edit) icon.
Step 4. Adding it to your page
If you are the administrator of any Facebook page, you can easily add the Poker News application to it. Just go to the start page of the application and instead of "add to Profile" click the small link below – "Add to Page"
Select the page you want to add it to and then approve the access to this page by clicking "Add Pokernews" button.
Then go to the Edit page and make sure the settings have the wall and Tab enabled.
Then go to the page and click "+" at the end of your tabs to add Pokernews as a new tab.
You can change the order of tabs by drag&dropping the Tabs.
Done! Congratulations! You now have all the latest and best quality poker news from PokerNews.com. You can always check on how it looks at Pokernews Facebook Page (please become a PokerNews Fan as you have already took a visit

Poker News widget in Google by Pokernews
June 03, 2009Those who use Gmail and other Google services, especially iGoogle – customized start page – already know about the possibility to add some interesting gadgets to it. PokerNews provides a couple of them:
Poker News gadget
A simple and nice gadget provides the news from Pokernews.com. If you click the “Settings” link, you can select some categories if you do not want to see all the news. You can also set the number of news to be shown if you have more space or if your space is limited. To add the Poker News gadget just click the Google button below.
In the nearest future we will make the multilingual version of this widget, so you would be able to add the poker news to Google in Dutch, German, French, Russian, Portuguese and 20 more languages.
Poker Term Of The Day
Click "Add to Google" buttonLearning is the main key in poker professionalism. One of the most important issues in poker life is the specific vocabulary and jargon used among poker players. Beginners should add this Poker Term of the Day widget in order to learn at least 1 word per day. (It took me 3 days to understand what GG and NH meant at the online poker room table chat). The widget is simple and easy to understand.
You can also add this widget to your Gmail's left side column by the XML URL - http://www.pokernews.com/gadgets/news/pngg_news_re ader.xml
Here is the detailed instruction how to add any Gadget to Gmail by custom URL. You may also add this widget to your blogger.com account. Here are the instructions how to do it. Please remember to use the keyword "pokernews" when you search for a gadget by the keyword, so that and you would find the list of all the Pokernews gadgets to select from.In the future we will add more widgets as we are still working on them. PokerNews has also got some other Poker Tools for webmasters and bloggers - free Texas Holdem poker odds calculator among them. I have also wrote about the first Adobe Air Odds Calculator desktop application for Windows Linux and Macintosh.
