Facebook Page Badges
-
I am attempting to add my Facebook page to my blog, when I enter in the code to the facebook widget on WP, then save the code, the widget does not appear on my blog. When I go back to check the widget, the code is missing. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

hello there,
We cannot use the widgets provided by Facebook on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs as we have code restrictions.You can post a Facebook badge in your sidebar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/
You can install the Facebook likebox widget found here > Appearance > Widgets
You can also enable sharing buttons on your posts, pages and index pages.
Also note the “like” button.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/You can have both Facebook like & share buttons on your posts.

Thanks for the prompt reply…I appreciate it!
One of your examples above indicated posting FB badge to my sidebar. That is exactly what I have been attempting to do with no luck. I copy and past the code into the FB likebox widget and it does not ‘take’. I have tried this about a dozen times.
I have so many WP questions, but just don’t know where to start…now I think I have found the right place! :)

Please see this http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/ and be sure the “code” you enter is the correct URL for your Facebook profile page.
The Facebook like box widgets accpets only the URL for your Facebook fan page. It does not accept the URL for a Facebook profile page. Like any widget the data is cached and takes time to display. http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/#facebook-like-box
