Create Pop-up Facebook Like Box for Your Blogger Blog in Four Simple Steps
Sponsored Links

I just learned how to create pop-up like box of Facebook in a Blogger blog. I also implemented the same to this blog. Its cool and simple technique. This pop up window will appear only once in the browser, hence when the reader visit your blog again he wont get frustrated by this pop-up. Before starting, thanks to Spice Up You Blog team for sharing this trick.
See the picture below. This is the sample of the pop up window that will appear in your blog.

"Receive all updates via Facebook. Just click the Like button below" following this message, like box of your Facebook page will appear. This option is very useful to boost your Facebook page subscribers number.
Follow these steps to bring this pop up to your blog:
Caution: I strongly recommend you to take back up of your blog template before making any template changes!
1. Open you Blog dashboard and go to 'Layout' option.
2. Click on 'Add Gadget' option in any side bar of the layout, and add 'HTML/JavaScript'.
3. Now you will get a box to add 'HTML/JavaScript'. Copy the below code entirely and paste it into the above said box:
Note: Before copying the script, change the text 'technocator' marked in red to your Facebook page name. For example: if your Facebook page URL is 'http://facebook.com/yourpagename' just copy 'yourpagename' and paste instead of 'technocator'.
