Make these changes:

• The text in brown can be changed to anything you wish. You can leave it as default.
•  *30 Setting this value will effect cookie refreshment. I have set the popup to appear only once to the visitor and this popup will appear again after 30 days. If you wish to display popup to your visitors after a week then set 30 to 7. Similar if you want it to appear daily then set 30 to 1. Note that if you set the value to low then it can irritate your daily readers.
• Replace livefreetv with your facebook username. If your facebook username is too long and includes numbers then do not panic and first create a Branded Facebook username for your blog in seconds by going to Facebook.com/username
• Next replace twice KBDd with your feed title. It appear at the end of your feed link. In my case it is:

http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=KBDd

    5.  Save the widget and drag the widget anywhere on your right sidebar. Place it below all widgets on your right sidebar

     6. Finally Click the orange save button towards top right.

     7.  Done!

Visit your blogs and see it popping up just fine! Remember as we already mentioned on previous post that the popup will show only once. To see it again you will first need to delete your browser cookie and then refresh the page to see it appearing again.

It will look like this:
