How To Add Facebook Like Box Into Blogger Blog 2017

Many other blog posts on adding a Facebook likebox on Blogger have become outdated since, earlier, like box plugin was used for this purpose but now it has been deprecated by Facebook.

Let's see how we can add a Facebook like box widget as in the below image on Blogger blog page.

Step-1: 

Head over to Facebook's Page Plugin docs → https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin.

Step-2: 

Enter your Facebook page URL as asked on that page. You'll get the preview of how your like box will look as shown in the image below.

If the preview doesn't show up, it means that your page is not published yet. In that case, head over to your Facebook page and publish it first.

Step-3:

By default, the box shows the page's posts too. Now, many of us including me wouldn't want that. So for that just remove the value 'timeline' from the field 'Tabs' and let it be blank.

Step-4:

Next click on the button 'Get Code' right below the preview. You'll get a popup as shown below.

There are two tabs at the top. Click on 'IFrame'.

Copy the code in the IFrame tab.

Step-5:

Now you need to paste the code wherever you want the like box to appear. 

For that, go to your Blogger dashboard and click on Layout option in the sidebar. There, click on 'Add a Gadget' where you want the box to appear.

I want it in my right sidebar so I click on the option there as seen below.

Step-6:

Click on the gadget HTML/JavaScript.
Add your code in the 'Content' box and the 'Title' field blank.

Step-7:

Click on Save. Then click on Save Arrangement button in the top right corner.

And, you're done! Your blog now has a Facebook like box of your page.

Wanna go a step ahead and add a Facebook Like button too for each of your posts?
I have done that for my blog and have written about it too here,

You can do a similar thing with Twitter by adding 'Click to tweet' links which I've covered here, How To Add A Click To Tweet Link To Your Blog Or Website

Research Projects

GNAT's

This project involved indexing multidimensional data for near-neighbor searches. The kind of applications I envision are identity comparisons, information finding, molecular biology, ... A paper (html) appeared inVLDB '95. Different versions of the data structure were implemented using Mathematica, C, and finally C++.

COPS

I worked on a project with Hector Garcia-Molina involving automated detection of copyright violations. Together with James Davis (another Ph.D. student here), we developed COPS, the COpyright Protection System. The paper (html) appeared in SIGMOD '95.

Current Research Directions and Hacks

Movie Ratings

A new project I have just started is going to generate personalized movie ratings for users. The way it works is as follows. You rate the movies you have seen. Then the system finds other users with similar tastes to extrapolate how much the you will like some other movies. It is currently written entirely in Python.

LaTeX to HTML Converter

I've been hacking on a LaTeX to HTML converter which was used to generate the HTML versions of the papers above. It is unique in that it is in written mostly TeX and hence is a somewhat more elegant design than other converters. A small portion of it is written in Perl.

Work Experience

Summer 1993: Wolfram Research

I developed a code analysis and extraction tool for the Mathematica source code.

September 1992 - May 1993: University of Maryland Systems Design and Analysis Group

At SDAG, I developed algorithms for scheduling in real time systems. This involved finding approximations for NP-complete problems. Additionally, I worked on profiling tools for real time systems.

Summer 1991 and Summer 1992: General Electric Information Services

In 1991, I developed a macro language library which could be embedded into any application. This was important for GEIS because it demonstrated the use of C++ to them. The following summer I developed a graphical front end for a file transfer program using C++

December 1991 - June 1992: Mathematics Department

Dr. Goldman is in the Mathematics Dept. at the University of Maryland and works in the fields of geometry and topology. I worked with him to develop a portable C++ library for the visualization of objects in non-Euclidean geometries.

June 1990 - June 1991: University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies

I developed and implemented of parallel algorithms for image processing. These included connected component analysis, image smoothing, and image enhancement. Additionally, I developed parallel 3-D graphics routines suitable for a flight simulator. Both projects were implemented using C/PARIS and C* (6.0+) on a Connection Machine 2 with 16384 processors.

Interesting isn't it?

I'll tell you another interesting thing that you might not have noticed.
If you look at the HTML source code, you'll find the following block commented out:

<!--<H4>Objective:</H4>
A large office, good pay, and very little work.
Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus.-->

Well he did get all of that, didn't he?
