Words Done Write: Get the "like" fest going on your Blogger blog

Facebook recently unrolled it's famous thumbs up "like" button to the entire worldwide web. So, in an effort to stay current on the tech stuff, I have added the "like" button to the posts here on Words Done Write. Now, the only bad thing I can say about the code is that it adds the button to all the posts in your entire archive. At a glance, it may seem as though no one "liked" any of your earlier work, but those who know better, know this feature is new and won't hold it against you.

There seem to be lots of tutorials out there on how to add the "like" button to WordPress blogs, but if you're on Blogger like me (I LOVE Blogger!) I found a handy plugin for you to use. Just click HERE to get the code and get the "like" fest going (you can also change the word "like" to "recommend" if prefer). Oh, and for you Negative Nellies in the peanut gallery who want a "dislike" button, well, click HERE to get one through Firefox.

Now, do you "like" this, my friends? No pressure, it's only my first post with the "like" button. Hint hint, guilt guilt.

Hee hee. Thanks, Tom! I wanted to be sure people I know who are on Blogger knew about it. It's easy to add and can be a nice addition to your site.

Oh, FYI, if you paste the code as is, it will only show the button on the individual post pages (and not be visible when viewing the homepage). Delete the lines in red to get it to show all the time. If you have questions, let me know.

Happy blogging!

I may not be emotionally mature enough for a "like" button, but I like yours! ;)
