Custom Facebook LIKE Box | Customize Facebook LIKE Box Using CSS

The Facebook Like box placed on your website /blog is probably the easiest way to attract new fans to your Facebook page.

And the same rectangular box can even help convert casual visitors to your site into regular ones. That’s because the photo pile inside the box will show visitors pictures of their friends who are already fans and when they seen a known face, it could increase their relative interest in your site.

Customize the Facebook Like Box – CSS

Facebook offers a simple Like Box plugin that you can easily integrate into your website using either JavaScript or IFRAME. You can customize the border color, the height and the width of the Like Box but, officially, nothing more.

That said, if you would like to add a background color to the Like Box to better match your site’s color theme or if you would like to completely remove the Facebook logo and other branding from the box to make it less crowded, you can easily do that with the help of CSS.

To get started, copy the code below and paste it anywhere inside your website template. Change the URL in Line19 where is says data-href= to point to your own Facebook page and you’re done. Enjoy your Custom Facebook LIKE Box!

Adjust the styles .facebookOuter & .facebookInner to get it looking the way you want.
