Facebook like box as popup

Question

I have the facebook like box in a block position and i want to make this block popup for first time visitors only. The popup will open only if the user visits the website for first time and will open once for every visitor.

Is it possible to implement this feature with existing modules? I am not a programmer.

Thank you

From Comments:

If you want to do a popup for first time visitors, try the Popup announcements or Popup on load modules.

This can be done easily if you have a control to find the visitor is first time coming to your site.

Set a persistent cookie once the use visists your site for the first time. Example Set a cookie called persistCookie to true/1. If the user visits for the next time check the cookie (persistCookie) exists/enabled to true. var persistCookie = getCookie("persistCookie");

With a simple condition below you can have a control over the fb like popup,

/* Check the cookie exists in IN your Domain*/
if (persistCookie) {
    /*If cookie exists check the autoopen false*/
    $("#dialog").dialog({
        autoOpen: false
    });
} else {
    /*If cookie exists check the autoopen True*/
    $("#dialog").dialog({
        autoOpen: true
    });
}
