jQuery Popup For Facebook LikeBox

| |




How it works?

This popup appears only once to every new visitor. The ip address of the visitor is stored in browser cookie and as the page loads again the widget wont be called again for the same visitor thus eliminating the chances of bugging regular readers. Because of course it will look weird if the popup appears again and again on every pageview.
It will appear both on homepage and sub pages depending which page the visitor is accessing. I have set the cookie refresh time to 30 days, which means that this lightbox will appear again for the same visitor after 30 days. We can easily set the number of days to prompt the visitors about your Facebook Fan page. Lets get straight to the one step installation process.


  1. Go To Blogger > Design
  2. Click choose a gadget
  3. Select HTML/javascript widget
  4. Paste the following code inside it

Make this simple change:
  • Replace thesystemishack with your facebook username.
Update: If your Facebook URL is too long and contains numbers then you may first create a branded Facebook username in seconds at Facebook.com/username
   5.   Hit the save button. Drag the widget to anywhere on your right sidebar.
     6. Click the orange save button towards top right.
done! Visit your blogs to see it poping up just beautifully. To review the widget just delete your browser cookies and refresh the page to see it appearing again.



Want the widget to appear Repeatedly

If you want to prompt the likebox every time the visitor enters your blog then simply delete this *true and type false from the code above.
