How to Put Facebook Badges on WordPress
Because more and more businesses are advertising by creating Facebook pages, it makes sense to add a Facebook "badge" to your WordPress website. Facebook provides badges, and there are many third-party sites that provide buttons and "connect with Facebook" logos. WordPress makes positioning badges and buttons simple, whether on the sidebar, header or footer.

Tips & Warnings
To get the badge to show up in your header or footer, go to "Appearance" > "Edit" and click on either the header.php or footer.php file on the right side of the window. It's a little trial and error, but paste the code in a likely spot, save the file and check out the site to see where the badge appears. If it's close to where you want it, try moving it a little in the PHP file.
