How To Add Facebook "Like" Button On Your WordPress Or Blogspot Blog

Have you tried installing different Facebook plugins on your blog but then you just give up because you find it too geeky for you? Do you want to install the Facebook “Like” button on your blog without spending so much effort? No problem because FB has made it more easy for anyone to integrate the “Like” button on their website or blog. Check this out!

WordPress Blog (using a plugin)

If you’re using WordPress, you can just download and install this Facebook “Like” plugin so you don’t have to mess with your single.php file. When you install this plugin, it will automatically add the “Like” button at the end of your post. You can see the live demo here in my blog.

The downside of this plugin is that you can’t choose where you want to add the “Like” button because some people want it above the post.

NOTE: I edited this plugin that’s why the faces doesn’t appear when you click the “Like” button.

UPDATE:

I found another plugin that lets you customize the Facebook “Like” button. This plugin is better compare to the first one because there’s an option here where you can change the style of the “Like” button easily like the font, color scheme, the text to display, and more! You can also choose where do you want the button to appear. It also lets you manually add the button to your blog.
