- Why is there a Facebook button on the login page?
You may now login or create a new account with Facebook! This is cool because it means you don't have to remember your password to login to The Beer Review Journal. If you don't have an account, it means you can create one with one click.
If you already have a Facebook account, and you already have a Beer Review Journal account, you can link the two. Go to My account >> "Facebook Identities" and click on the Facebook icon. From now on, you will be able to log on to The Beer Review Journal with one click. Isn't that convenient?
By the way, yes, this means we are planning a Facebook application!
