Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

A lot of website owners are making fan pages for their websites. For me, because I have several sites, I just have one here on Blondish.net to myself in general. However, I found after I put the fan page widget on my site, people were emailing me or sending direct messages to ask how I did it. So, here is a tutorial on how to place a Facebook fan box widget on your site.

1. Look for the link “Edit Page” link under your fan page image in the top left corner. This will take you to the administrative page for your site.

2. To the right of the general options, there are a few sections. One is called “Promote Your Page”. Click on the link that says “Promote with a Fan Box.”

This will lead you to a page that you can select the page you want to promote and Facebook will generate a code.

3. Select the code best suited for your blog. For those with WordPress, choose the button “Other.” Copy the code.

4. In WordPress, you can place the code into a widget. (This is located in the sidebar of the WordPress admin under the section “Appearance.”)

5. You can adjust the code to show how many or how few avatars on your fan box. You can also adjust the size. To adjust the number of people to show, look in the code for : connections=”10″

Ten is the default number. You can change this to any number, but do remember that you may have to adjust the size of the fan box.

Sound easy?
