Creating Facebook Like Box in 8 Simple Steps

From Kitchen Flavours Blog ~ Thanks!

With so many people asking me about how to link facebook and blog? how to create a fan page for blog? how to create Like Box for blog? I thought of making a post on this....as all these questions carry a common answer and it will be helpful to others who are not familiar in doing this. I thought a simple step-wise pictorial can be helpful...Check out each step and read completely once and then start creating....

STEP ONE: Open Facebook in a browser and click Create a Page.

STEP TWO: Click on the Artist, Brand or Public Figure - in the category choose chef - in the name box type your blog name - check that box to accept terms and conditions and say get started.

STEP THREE: If u already have an account in facebook, login using it. If not then create an account and then login.

STEP FOUR: I created a new account for demonstration, so I got this message.

STEP FIVE: Click on the activation link, which came in your mail box. Hooray! facebook page is created for your blog.

STEP SIX: Now add an profile image to your fan page, then click on Add Like Box under "promote this page on your website". Copy the URL (indicated by an arrow in the top).

STEP SEVEN: Now place the copied URL in the box below Facebook Page URL. You can adjust width (according to your sidebar), color, etc.

STEP EIGHT: Finally click on Get code, when you are done with all the necessary changes. Then a pop up window appears (as shown in the pic. below) copy the code in the first box and place in your blog by visiting Dashboard - Design - Page Elements - Add a Gadget - HTML/Java script. Click save and the facebook fan page is created for your blog. Yippee! it's so easy....Enjoy....

NOTE: Click on the images...to get a zoom look. It is always recommendable to have a separate page for your blog rather than your personal page.
