In the fast-paced world of the Internet, it’s important for businesses to have a good, quality website. Web design is part of the new face of marketing, and a well-designed site only helps when it comes to attracting customers.

A website is one of the best sales pitches a business can have in today’s market, and a recognizable URL will stick in people’s minds longer than a passing glance at a storefront. Many websites have become synonymous with the businesses they represent, and more and more brick-and-mortar businesses are beginning to sell their products on the Internet.

Quality web design gives customers quick access to important business information. Being able to know at a glance what products and services a business offers fits the busy lifestyle of today’s consumer. An excellent homepage is better than a brick-and-mortar storefront in its ability to catch and keep a customer’s attention. Having information close at hand to back up a company name or logo adds to business
credibility. The more a site can tell a person in a short amount of time, the better.

An attractive site layout utilizing well-placed blocks of text and quick-loading images can help catch prospective customers’ attention and keep them browsing long enough to become interested in what a business has to offer. If products and services are offered on the website itself, it is imperative that customers be able to find what they want without having to search for too long. The longer a person has to look, the less likely they are to stay on the site.

Having a well-designed business website is with clear information is essential to attract today’s Internet-savvy consumer. The information such a website conveys can be the difference between gaining or losing customers.

Well, I don’t want to keep you from waiting. Here’s how you do it:

1) Login to Blogger (I preferred Blogger Draft in this example)

2) Click “Layout” on the blog you want to add the Widget

3) Click “Edit HTML”

4) Tick the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox.

5) Search for the following code (you can use CTRL+F on your browser)
<div class=’post-outer’>

Once you found it, on the next line you should find this code <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>. If you found that, it means you are on the right spot.

Copy the code below and paste it right after that <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/> code (highlighted yellow above).

<script>
fb_like = &quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<b:if cond=’data:blog.url’><data:post.url/></b:if>&quot;;
document.write(&quot;<iframe scrolling=’no’ frameborder=’0′ allowTransparency=’true’ style=’border:none; margin:10px 0 0 0; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:auto;’ allowtransparency=’true’ src=’&quot;+ fb_like +&quot;’/>&quot;);
</script>

UPDATE: The above code doesn’t seem to work because copying it from here adds some funky characters in the markup. Grab it here instead:

Like the highlighted code in the screenshot.

6) Click “Save Template”

7) You’re done! Refresh your main blogger blog now and you should be able to see your new Facebook “Like” Button Widget

Got it working? Post your URL in the comments below. Cool huh?
