where do you get the facebook connect api key from ?

i created an app for the faceook connect mod on d7, but cant find any feield on FB for api key? why is nothing ever simple with dolphin

Try http://developers.facebook.com/.

 I do not think it has anything to do with Dolphin. I mean the mod needs you to generate and obtain an API key from FB to allow it to communicate with it. Not sure how that is Dolphins issue.

Also there is a bit of work needed to operate your site, it is almost a turnkey operation, depending on what it is you are looking for.
