Inside the HTML code of each image, you have the size of each picture that can be changed by modifying the width (590) and height (348) values. To add the description for your pictures, replace the text in red.

If you want to add more pictures, add this HTML before the tag:

Notice that each image and description has an unique identifier (id) and shouldn't be repeated. For instance, in the description text of the first image, we have the id="photo1" and within the image code is the "rel" attribute with the name of the id, that is rel="photo1".

Tutorial # 26 - Facebook Pop-up Like Widget


Facebook is the No. 1 social media service on the Internet hosting to over 1.3 billion users; of those, 800 million login to their timelines at least once a day. Thanks to the vast number of active users on services like Facebook, acquiring new readers as a blogger or content provider has become easier than ever.

For E-marketing, you must take advantage of social media by doing things like integrating Facebook on Blogger. Sharing site content using a Facebook Like Box is just one of many strategies that can generate a regular flow of traffic from a diverse demographic that might have been previously inaccessible. Adding a Facebook Like Box actually makes the users more likely to like your blog page.

How to Add the Facebook Popup Like Box Widget
Step 1: Log into your Blogger account and select your blog > go to 'Layout' & click the 'Add a Gadget' link on the right side

Step 2: Once the popup window is open, select the HTML/JavaScript gadget from the list

Step 3: Copy and paste the following code inside the empty box



Step 4: Customization
After adding the code, replace the address in Line # , https://www.facebook.com/earningonlineviablog/ with your site's facebook page URL.
The widget will appear 5 seconds after the page finishes loading. If you want to change this delay, change the number 5000 to a greater or lesser number in this part:
.delay(5000)
By default, the like box only shows up the first time the user visits your page.  If you would like the Facebook box to popup every time the page loads, then remove this line of code:
$.cookie('popup_facebook_box', 'yes', { path: '/', expires: 7 });

If you want to display only when user visits your homepage, go to 'Template' > hit the 'Edit HTML' button on the right side and search by clicking anywhere inside the code area and pressing the CTRL + F keys for this tag:

Paste the facebook popup widget right above the body tag and make sure to include the conditional tags below:
<b:if cond='data:page.type == "index"'>ADD THE FACEBOOK WIDGET CODE HERE </b:if>

After saving your work, you can test out your new feature by returning to one of your old posts which should bring up a little popup widget asking if you'd like to join the site's facebook page.

If you don't see the Facebook Like Box on the page, you may need to delete your cookies or check out the 'Customization' section above in order to display the widget every time a user visits your site. Once this widget is added to your site, all your hard work should start to translate into an increase in web traffic and number of Facebook fans.


Step 5: Press the 'Save' button to add the widget to your blog. That's it!
