/*]]>*/
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    (function(w2b){
        w2b(document).ready(function(){
            var $dur = "medium"; // Duration of Animation
            w2b("#fbplikebox").css({right: -250, "top" : 100 })
            w2b("#fbplikebox").hover(function () {
                w2b(this).stop().animate({
                    right: 0
                }, $dur);
            }, function () {
                w2b(this).stop().animate({
                    right: -250
                }, $dur);
            });
            w2b("#fbplikebox").show();
        });
    })(jQuery);
/*]]>*/
</script>
<div id="fbplikebox" style="display:none;">
    <div class="fbplbadge"></div>
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=YOUR-FACEBOOK-PAGE&amp;width=250&amp;height=250&amp; colorscheme=light&amp;show_faces=true&amp;border_color=%23C4C4C4&amp;stream=false&amp;header=false" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:250px;background:#FFFFFF;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
</div>

7. Replace YOUR-FACEBOOK-PAGE text above with the URL of your facebook fan page.
Also replace the : symbol in your URL with %3A and / with %2F

For example, my facebook fan page is:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Helplogger/120574614736021

After replacing the characters above, your facebook fan page should look like this:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FHelplogger%2F120574614736021

Other settings (optional):
- to change the width and height of the facebook box, change the bolded values (250)
- to change the background color of the facebook fan box, replace #FFFFFF with the hex code of your color 
- if you want to change the color of the facebook badge (facebook button) replace this code#3B5998
with your own.

8. Now you can save your widget. Enjoy!
