If you use the social media king Facebook’s Fan Page, did you know you can insert that into your wordpress blog sidebar? Here’s how to do it.
Login to your Facebook Fan Page. On the left, look for the link “Add A Fan Box”. Now you simply copy the code and insert it into your blog. If you are using WordPress, here is how you do that.
Login to the wp-admin of your blog. Using version 2.7 and up, on the left, click on Appearance. Underneath, click on widget. Next, you have to decide which sidebar you wish to place a new text box, left or right. Some blog themes only have one sidebar so you won’t be worrying over this choice. See below.
Using the text box
Once you have selected the sidebar you want, then you are going to either drag and drop your text box from the left, or just click Add next to your text box on the left. This depends on which version of Wordpress you are using. Once done, you must click SAVE before we go further.
Adding Text Box
Now, on the right side where you see the new Text box, click to open it. Inside, you have an option to add a title, so go ahead and add that if you want one. Below this area, you will copy and paste the html code you found on your Facebook Fan Page. Once done, you click Save at the bottom. After this, you are going to Visit Site to see how it all looks. You can tweak the size of this new text box if it is running off the screen, see instructions below.

Of course, you can use this same method to insert all kinds of html objects into your sidebars. Most social media allow you to copy the html and use it on your blog, and this is the method you could follow. Also, please see the post on facebook and local business marketing.
