Try the New TobyMac ‘City on Our Knees’ Facebook App

Posted September 20, 2010 | Laura Christianson

If you gotta’ start somewhere why not here?
If you gotta’ start sometime why not now?

TobyMac’s hit song, “City on Our Knees,” also inspired his new book, City on Our Knees. We’re pleased to announce a new Facebook application we developed for TobyMac, where you can share your own stories about how you’ve stepped out of your comfort zone to begin making a positive difference in your world.

Here’s a screenshot of the app’s Home page:

At the app, you can read others’ stories, rate them, comment on them, and create your own customized “favorites” page. And of course, you can share your own story (we sincerely hope you will!).

To get to the app, login to your Facebook account and click:
http://apps.facebook.com/cityonourknees/

You will need to give the app permission to access your FB profile (don’t worry; it’s safe… we host the app).

Click the green “Share Your Story” button and get started. You can upload a photo to accompany your story, too.

We’d like you to help us promote the application. Here’s a link to a “splash” website that provides easy access to both the book and the Facebook app, plus two buttons you can add to your own blog or website:

www.cityonourknees.org


To insert the buttons on your blog:

  1. Right click an image and select “Save Link as…”
  2. Save the image to your hard drive.
  3. Start a new blog post and click “Add an image.”
  4. Locate the image file on your hard drive and insert it into a post.
  5. To embed the link to the Facebook app inside the image, left click on the image, then click Insert/edit link on your text editor’s toolbar.
  6. Copy and paste  in the following link URL (be sure to include the http://):
    http://apps.facebook.com/cityonourknees/
  7. Click “Update.”
