Facebook “Like” Box

This is another very good OFFICIAL Facebook plugin (or widget). What we're looking to create is a place where we can easily share our Facebook Fanpage with the people who visit our site.

The benefit of people "liking" your fanpage is; once they like your page, ALL of your updates will be "put in front" of them in their news feed.

When we come to automatically syndicatig your content out to your fanpage, you'll see that everyone who is either your friend on Facebook, or they like your fanpage will AUTOMATICALLY be shown your latest post in their news feed (home).

Automatic relationship / trust development or what?

Lesson 3 - Plugins’n'Widgets

1 Widgets
Widgets literally as easy as dragging and dropping. It's important to have a few VITAL things in our sidebar for our guests to be able to navigate our site and find our content.

2 Akismet
Akismet is a vital bit of kit. The way it works is it automatically detects both spam comments, and trackbacks & pingbacks.

3 All in One SEO
I’ve done a lot of research into the best plugin to use for SEO and this was the one that kept cropping up so that’s why I’m recommending it.

4 Contact Form
It's really important to have give your visitors a method to communicate with you. This doesn't mean you have to have your email on display, all you have to do is create a contact from.

5 Facebook Comments
It's a proven fact that a friends recommendation is way more powerful than any other form of marketing. Allowing your guests to comment using Facebook comments will give you the ability to virally promote your business.

6 Digg Digg (Twitter)
This is the same plugin that Mashable.com uses on their website. We all know now how important it is to make sharing our content easy and Digg Digg makes doing that easy for us.

7 WP FollowMe
This plugin allows your visitors to connect with you on Twitter really easily. It basically put's somethig that resembles a clothes tag on the side of your blog with a link to Twitter.

8 WP Cumulus
This is one of my favorite plugins. It doesn't work too well on the site that I used for the demo but it does on other sites. If you've got a wide sidebar (at least 180px) then this is for you.

9 Twitter Widget
This is an official Twitter widget and before we can install it into our sidebar we need to get the code. Really good for getting your Twitter account noticed i.e. get more people following you.

10 Facebook Fanpage Widget
If you've got a fan page set up on Facebook then you may want to let people who visit your site know about it. This official Facebook Widget will allow people to "like" your fanpage from within your blog. Awesome!
