Following are the most popular widgets for Facebook. If your blog lack them, then I would say it is your prime responsibility to add them and let your business grow.

Facebook POP Likebox:
Once you furnish your account with a Facebook widget, a Facebook like pop-up window will appear every time a visitor visits your blog for the first time.

Floating Facebook Likebox: It comforts users to like your Facebook fan page from any page on your site rather than forcing them back to go to the homepage searching for like box.
Share Button:It gives your subscribers the authority to share your content to their Facebook profiles. It is highly recommended to add this widget since it will attract the subscriber’s friends as well and they too will stick to your blog. Learn how to add share button in blogger.

Like button: Facebook like button ases your users by allowing them to publish content and activity to Facebook.

How to Add New Facebook Like box in Blogger:

Adding a Facebook Plugin is quite easy. All you have to do is to follow these simple steps:

The very first thing you need to do is to visit Facebook Page Plugin. You will find a few options to customize the appearance of your page plugin.

Provide your Page URL, choose the width and height of your page plugin. Since, the plugin shows the cover page on to the widget you can simply hide it from the plugin in case you don't want it to appear. You can also choose whether to show your latest page posts or not.

If you are not a techsavvy person than leave all the options blank, but do not forget to add the URL to your facebook page. Once you are satisfied with the customizations you can press the get code button to continue.

Facebook will give you two codes, copy the first code and paste it above the </head> tag in your blogger template. Additionally you can also paste the code, ideally right after the opening <body> tag.

Now, Copy the second code and paste it anywhere you would like to display the facebook page like box. We recommend you add it in your sidebar by going to Layout >> Add a Gadget.

I must say in order to increase your blog’s publicity; you should never miss out on such useful widgets which will clear the way for more people to subscribe to your blog. A blog which has all the modern features pleases the fans and helps them to get more and more benefits from your blog. So, what are waiting for? Go and get your Facebook widgets and let people know you in a broader sense via your blog.

I get an error when saving in html editor:
Ocorreu um erro ao analisar o XML, linha 4088, coluna 64: The reference to entity "version" must end with the ';' delimiter.

It refers to this particular code line below. After the word version, blogger wants to put a ";" after the n letter of version

js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";

Any help?
