How to Put a Facebook Like Button on a Blog Post
Social-networking site Facebook provides a range of free tools to help you promote your blog or website. One way to gain an audience for a blog post is to include a "Like" button for Facebook users to click. Blogging platforms, such as Blogger and WordPress, have plugins that enable you to add buttons automatically to every post, but to add a "Like" button to a single article, you'll need to retrieve the HTML code from Facebook and paste it into your code.
