by James Morgan with 554 Comments

Are you struggling to get more facebook likes? Add a floating facebook like box to your blog or website.  The widget remains in a fixed position on the right-hand side of your site.  When you hover over the blue facebook image, the like box will then slide and reveal itself using jquery.

1.  Go to Design>Edit HTML
2. Search for <head> and just below it paste the following JQuery code.

<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'>
