- URL to Like (leave blank for automatic) - the web address you want your visitors to Like on Facebook. Leave this blank if you want the gadget to detect the page URL automatically. (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Clear-Lake-Community-School-District/104437438125?fref=ts) for Clear Lake Community School district. Locate this URL from the Facebook page.
- Layout style - Choose if and where you want the count box to appear (see examples on the right in this how to). The numbers in the square brackets tell you the dimensions to set the gadget's height and width to (also see note on Show Faces below), eg [300 x 30] means make the gadget 300px wide by 30px high.
- Width - enter a width for the gadget in pixels (you may need to experiment with this to get it right on your page and make sure that nothing of the Like button gets cropped).
- Show faces (add 37px to gadget height) - choose whether to display the face of the people who use the Like button. If you enable this option add 37px to the height of the gadget to ensure the gadget does not crop the faces, eg if you choose the standard layout make the gadget's width 300px and height 67px.
- Verb to display - choose whether to display a Like button or a Recommend button.
- Font - choose the font you wish to use on the button
- Colour Scheme - choose the colour scheme for the button, Light or Dark
- **Tips- I do no include a border or display a title. I do show faces and then my height is 104. (This isn't as critical) This is what it looks like on my page.
- Untick the Include a border around gadget and Display title on gadget boxes and set the height and width to appropriate values.
- Use the OK button
- You can choose to set these optional attributes:
