Add Facebook Like Box Without 'Social Plugin' Footer

Nowadays many bloggers rely upon social networks to make their blog popular and drive traffic. This method works like charm, Blogs with high number of social followers tend to drive more traffic than blogs without social followers. So you must always try to widen your social circles by adding social widgets to your blog so that people can share your articles, follow your blog etc. This will boost your blogs traffic and also help you get more followers.

Facebook Like box is a social plugin which lets people Like your Facebook page directly from your website. With this widget you fans will be able to like your page with just one click. The widget is easy to Install and doesn't require any technical skills.

When you generate the widget from Facebook Developers page there are some default attributes set. You can change height, width, colorscheme etc. You can also add/remove header but you cannot remove the footer. With some CSS we can hide the footer and make the widget more attractive.
