HOW TO ADD A FACEBOOK 'LIKE BOX' IN A BLOG

Facebook as a social media is essential to spread and share your blog posts with people. Once you created a Facebook page, you can connect your Facebook profile with your website.

Facebook offers ready social plugins for your website.
First, navigate to your Facebook page and copy the URL. This URL connects the users who likes with the Facebook pages and shares the posts on that page with the users.


Navigate to the Like Box social plugin page.

Paste the URL in 'Facebook Page URL' field and keep 'Width' and 'Height' default - 'The pixel width of plugin'.  You can change the dimensions of the like box later by changing the values in the code.

Depending on the selection of the check-boxes, layout and display of the Like Box changes.

The best configuration is the standard default configuration but it really depends on how you want it to be displayed.

Click 'Get Code' which will provide you with the HTML code.

With the Like Box code available, add a 'HTML/Java Script' gadget to your Blog layout. The best place would be the sidebar.

Paste the code in 'Content' region without any 'Title' for the gadget. Save arrangements and view blog.
Your new Facebook Like Box should pop-up on your Blog!
