What would be nice is to extend the second birthday and make a large number of birthdays so that the application will ping your friends to remind them of your second (or third or fourth...) birthday. I reckon most people would prefer this rather than being reminded of their friends that have birthdays -- or Queen's Birthdays -- this month. However, that involves rolling my sleeves up and getting stuck into the Zembly and FBML again... Thanks for the comment Kersti.

In the UK it's a Saturday I think.

I'm wondering that myself! If you take a look at the app, then I've taken the simple Birthdays example, except that I do a second query of the facebook database looking for birthdays that occur in the month that is six months from this one. I display birthdays just like the normal app, then I mention the users that have "Queen's Birthdays" this month. I don't display the actual birthdays, because the code does not know the date, which is only expanded in the FBML. The solution, I think, is to do it in the SELECT query itself, but I have to brush up on my SQL skills a little. Anyhow, thanks for Zembly and the great work you are doing. Anything that gets me back and coding again must be good! And anything that lets me create a social app so quickly must be better? My next question: currently I can run the app from the apps.facebook.com/queen_birthday page, but I can't add the app or recommend it to my friends. How do I go about that? Cheers Robin Hi Mr Kovalsky

I'm wondering how do you determine the date of queen's birthday for individual friends. Cool stuff! I’m wondering how do you determine the date of queen’s birthday for individual friends.
