You can Install This Widget Easily in your Blog By Following These Simple Steps....
Before you edit any template it's better to keep a Backup..So First Backup your Template.
1. Go to your Blogger Dashboard>>Template>>Edit Html
2. Find following code in your template.
</head>
3. and paste the following code before/above </head>
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js'></script><script src='http://yourjavascript.com/69231961363/jquery-colorbox-min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
if (document.cookie.indexOf('visited=true') == -1) {
var setDays = 1000*60*60*24*7;
var expires = new Date((new Date()).valueOf() + setDays);
document.cookie = "visited=true;expires=" + expires.toUTCString();
$.colorbox({width:"400px", height:"430px", inline:true, href:"#facebook-popup"});
}});</script>
- *7 Setting this value will effect cookie refreshment. I have set the likebox to appear once to the visitor and likebox will appear again after 1 week. If you want to display likebox to your visitors after a 1 day then set 7 to 1. if you set the value to 1 then it can annoying your regular readers.
