 * What is the url of your blog outside FB?
 * What is the url of your Facebook application?
 * What do you have set as the “Canvas Page” in the WPBook settings?
 * What do you have set as the “Canvas URL” in the Facebook Settings of your app?

 * Canvas URL: gpnetworks/

 * So you have a custom home page that doesn’t show blog posts.
 * Your blog list page is this one:
    [http://apps.facebook.com/gpnetworks/gp-stuff/](http://apps.facebook.com/gpnetworks/gp-stuff/)
 * which maps to:
    [http://www.gpnetworks.co.uk/newsandsupport/gp-stuff/](http://www.gpnetworks.co.uk/newsandsupport/gp-stuff/)
 * So you could set that, in Facebook, as the Canvas URL.
 * However, because your permalinks actually don’t include /gp-stuff/, you have 
   to leave the canvas url set to what it is or permalinks will break.
 * WPBook just mirrors inside FB what you have outside in a new theme – so in essence
   have a custom homepage outside FB that isn’t the blog list page, but then forcing
   the blog list page to appear first inside FB is not currently supported.

 * You could also look into how permalinks are constructed in WPBook – two functions
   in wpbook.php, on called fb_filter_postlink() and another called wpbook_always_filter_postlink()–
   basically subtracts the “core” domain of the WordPress host from the permalink(
   from what it would be outside FB) and then adds it to the canvas url.
 * So that challenge is how to get permalinks to work that don’t technically contain
   the canvas url itself . . .
 * Must be some solution here but I haven’t put my finger on a simple way to do 
   it without breaking other things. 😉

 * Of course the tab view of your application, which you can add to a FB page (and
   set as the default tab) will list posts – see this for example:
 * [http://www.facebook.com/pages/WPBook/44062579871?sk=app_12797741823](http://www.facebook.com/pages/WPBook/44062579871?sk=app_12797741823)
 * Which is a tab from my OpenParenthesis facebook app added to the WPBook Facebook
   Page.

 * Looks good to me – what approach did you take?
