The easy way to add facebook like box or button in a wordpress blog. I have noticed that a lot of wordpress blogger have a problem while adding wordpress like box or wordpress fan page in a wordpress blog. So that’s why I have decided to share a little tricks with all of you.
Facebook is the no.1 social network over internet. This is the best social site for communicating and advertising. Now facebook has released their “Like” button. The Facebook like button extends their like feature to other sites on the web. If the users are logged into their facebook account, then they can ‘like’or ‘recommend’ and share a web page to all of their facebook friends as they are reading it from the site. All of your recent like, release and update will be steam live.

Why Facebook Like?

Lets see some detail, Facebook is world’s second most visited site according to Alexa. Everyone from age 11 to 77 are on Facebook and spent many hours their. Each user has a news feed where they see updates from their friends, besides this Facebook also show the latest updates in a gadget steam at the right corner of the page. This news feed shows the link their friends like, people their friend added, pages their friends became a fan of and much more. Now if a user has 410 facebook friends, and he clicks “like” on your post, then it will be shown to all of his 410 friends. This is the best free word of mouth advertising you can get. But this does not end here. It gets better. So at this way you can recommend your favorite site and article to all of your friends via one click.
 Now just copy the given code and paste it in to your post. You will see the change after you publish the post.
[pre]<iframe src=”http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;
width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light” scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ allowTransparency=”true” style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:60px;”>
</iframe>[/pre]
The is the most easy way. but You can also add the same code or Facebook fan page with the help of a plugin. If you don’t know about html or codes etc then I will recommend the following plugin.
now upload this plugin and activate it, go to widget area and you will see a new widget Facebook member, paste your Facebook code here and enable the widget. That’s all happy blogging.
