How to create a "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK" like box




As I was creating my new blog for my It Works business on Blogger, I wanted to add a “Like us on Facebook” box. After doing some online research, I was able to find out how. I’m always excited about learning something new that will enhance my blog and create more traffic, and I want to share it with you! 

For those of you looking to do the same, here are the steps:  

Step 1: Log onto your Facebook account. 

Step 2: In the html search bar, type (or copy and paste) http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/. This will bring you to a screen that says Facebook Developers. Like Box. 

Step 3: In the box under Facebook Page URL, delete https://www.facebook.com/FacebookDevelopers and then copy and paste your website address from Facebook into the box.



Step 4: In the height and width box, I entered 250 into both boxes. 

Step 5: I left the color scheme light, but you can switch to dark if you prefer. 

Step 6: I unchecked the show stream box because I do not want to have that on my page. 

Step 7: Click on the “GET CODE” box.


 Step 8: Click on IFRAME. Highlight and copy the code in the box.



Step 9: Go back into Blogger and select layout. Select add a gadget. 


Step 10: Select add a gadget. Select add HTML/Java Script.

Step 11: Enter and paste your code into the content box. You can add a title if you want to, I did not. Click on the save button.

Step 12: View your blog. If you are happy with the position of your new box, select save arrangement and you are good to go!
