On top of choosing how wide and tall you want the box to appear on your website, you can also choose to use your cover photo or not, show the profile pictures of friends who also like the page and finally decide whether you want the box to include a feed of your recent Facebook posts or not.

To setup your new Page Box, simply head to the Page Plugin page on the Facebook developers website.
