How to Replace a Facebook Share Icon

If you want to replace your Facebook Share button with a Like button, you can learn how to do so in just a few steps.

   <script>function fbs_click()

4. Highlight the entire Share button code block using your mouse, then delete it.

5. Add the following code in place of the code you erased:

   <div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="" send="true" width="450" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
