If you want to show the connected photos then put value in connections textbox. But I recommend to use the zero value in that because that will slowdown your website. Then click on get code button. Then you will see the facbook in page popup. As per my suggestion use the iframe tag. Do not use the javascript tag for your website.

That will again for your website performance related. As much script tag you include in your website that much slowness will happen to your website.

Then use the iframe tag code in your website.

If you are using the wordpress then just use the text widget for showing your facebook fan widget.

If you are having any issues or questions about adding the facbook fan code in your website then please write to me.
