Facebook Like Button on Websites for Small Biz

Like button for FacebookI just added the Facebook Like button to each of the posts on Websites for Small Biz.

How did I do that? Easy, if you have a single.php file in your theme. Use the code in this WP Recipes post. I added it just below
<div class=“postmetadata”>
- code will vary from theme to theme.

Why the Like button? Folks can Like your post with one click. Easy exposure. No need to comment, just click.

Thanks to Robert Kopacz for his encouragement (who also has the Like button on his Madison, NJ video posts).

Has anyone tried out the new Tweet button from Twitter? I clicked on it on one post and find it created a funny looking shortened url. But that was just one post. Just did another one – it worked fine! Update: I just added the new Tweet button from Twitter and deactivated the BackTweet button.

    If people use a desktop blog editing application, they can just copy/paste the code found there:

    It works with my theme.

      If you will notice, Gary on your link also links to the Cat’s Who Code WP Recipes link by Jean-Baptiste Jung. He’s from Belgium (we Americans imagine that you in Europe might all meet each other, since you are all in driving distance? ;-).
