jQuery Facebook Likebox Popup For Blogger - v2

The previous version of jquery popup for Facebook Like box was warmly welcomed by all of you. Most of you requested social media links to be added to it along with a RSS subscription form. Normally it's a standard to keep it simple with just a subscribe form and Likebox and adding social media links does not make sense here. However if you wish to have them then please vote by posting your comments. I am a little busy with some other tasks therefore designed this new version in hurry. You can easily add it to your blogger blogs as well as wordpress blogs. The steps are exactly the same and we will be using the same Lightbox script that we used in creating a simple Subscribe Popup form. I will further troubleshoot some problems that you faced with the earlier version. Lets get to work then!

If you are using the previous version then you can simply replace the code with this new one. The steps are exactly the same. To Learn how it works Please consult the details in earlier version.

Tip: Copy the code given in step#4 and paste it inside this editor to see a live demo.

Try it now!

Make these changes:

• The text in brown can be changed to anything you wish. You can leave it as default.
•  *30 Setting this value will effect cookie refreshment. I have set the popup to appear only once to the visitor and this popup will appear again after 30 days. If you wish to display popup to your visitors after a week then set 30 to 7. Similar if you want it to appear daily then set 30 to 1. Note that if you set the value to low then it can irritate your daily readers.
• Replace bloggertricks with your facebook username. If your facebook username is too long and includes numbers then do not panic and first create a Branded Facebook username for your blog in seconds by going to Facebook.com/username
• Next replace twice tntbystc with your feed title. It appear at the end of your feed link. In my case it is:

http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=tntbystc

    5.  Save the widget and drag the widget anywhere on your right sidebar. Place it below all widgets on your right sidebar

     6. Finally Click the orange save button towards top right.

     7.  Done!

Visit your blogs and see it popping up just fine! Remember as we already mentioned on previous post that the popup will show only once. To see it again you will first need to delete your browser cookie and then refresh the page to see it appearing again.

It will look like this:
