It’s quite simple to add the Facebook Like button to your blog. If you don’t mind editing code and don’t want to deal with a plug-in you can simply drop in this bit of code (to your index.php & single.php files); note that the URL I’m using is based on a previous post for creating your own shortURL for WP:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://joelnagy.com/p<?php the_ID(); ?>&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=425&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:425px; height:30px;"></iframe>So please share the love and Like this!

I put this in and worked great, unfortunately, worked great pointing to your webpage. DOh, that’s my bad, so I swapped the URL in the script; unfortunately I can’t get it to work putting in my domain, keep getting this error:
The page at http://ianchristy.com/104 could not be reached.
I swapped in this:
<iframe src=”http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://ianchristy.com/&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=425&action=like&colorscheme=light” scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ allowTransparency=”true” style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:425px; height:30px;”>
doesn’t seem to work, and I don’t get enough about the WP scripting to see where the “104″ is coming from. Appears to be a page number. Hos should this script look or what function should I change to get the facebook bit to like my URL instead of yours?
Thanks!

ian: the URL structure builds on my previous post for using shortURLs based on the postID only (which is what the 104 is coming from). If you are not using a shortURL you’ll want to use this for your URL in the href param:
< ?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>
