 * Hi Baron,
 * leave the access token field empty if the token is not working and you are good.
 * Access token are not working with any facebook user account for reasons we do
   not know. It seems to be a facebook secret which we did not riddle, yet.
 * Access tokens can be used on very high traffic sites. They allow us to make up
   to 200 requests per hour to the facebook api.
