Facebook Like Button Plugin for WordPress Blogs

by Sam on April 21, 2010

I’m at F8 and was pumped to hear the announcement for like buttons extending outside of Facebook and the Open Graph initiative. As Zuckerberg said, the “default is now social.”

One thing to note is that Facebook’s default like-button code won’t work on WordPress as it does not account for dynaimcally generated pages (e.g. a blog). However, I found a version that works.

Download the Like Button plugin here.

Update: if you are wondering about whether like buttons will replace the older “share buttons”, the answer is YES

I like that now we can create a like-Button with the FB-LB-Generator on the settings-page. But one cool new feature I got today, after the big Facebook announcement, was my very own Like button. This is a great tutorial on adding the new Like Button to your WordPress blog. Having the ability to post comments to Facebook as well as posting comments to your wall is so much better than the simpler IFrame version.

Rumors have been circulating for a while nike air max 1 now regarding a 2010 release of the Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” but we have not seen any sort of confirmation in nike air max 2010 the form of catalog images or words from nike air max 95 Jordan Brand representatives. But today, we are extremely proud to present a SneakerFiles nike air max 90 exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the nike air max nl Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs. Be sure to check out the additional photos and information after the jump!
