Have you seen a Facebook Fan Box on someone’s website or blog? This blog uses the Fan Box Widget in the right hand column. I also placed an enlarged, customized version of the Fan Box Widget on my website. Click the link to see what the customized version looks like.
I love the Fan Box Widget! It allows you to promote your Facebook Fan Page anywhere you can place html code. When you set-up the Fan Box, you select whether you want it to show a live stream of YOUR status updates (it will not show posts originated by your Fans or comments) and/or icon photos of your fans. I think choosing both are good because it allows your website/blog visitors to see a sampling of the posts on your Fan Page AND how many fans you have. If they see good content and a decent number of fans, they are more likely to visit your Fan Page or click the “Become a Fan” button at the top of the Fan Box!
Facebook Fan Box Widget
To create your own Fan Box, click on “Add fan box to your site” underneath your fan page logo/photo. You can add the Fan Box to your website/blog yourself or send the generated html code to your web designer so they can add it for you.
I love my widget, how about you?

Hi Kim,
I found this old blog of yours after checking out the formatting we’re able to do in our Facebook postings. Do you know anything about symbols to add to our Facebook posts? I know that <3 makes a heart appear – is there anything else cool?
This blog, though, is awesome. I've now added my Fan Page link to my blog so everything is linked. Keep up the good work – you know some super cool tricks!!!
Take care, my friend,
Meaghan
