Steps To Add A Facebook Like Button in Wordpress

I’m a big believer in this particular element you can add to your blog and even more, I think it is super powerful for e-commerce as this one button can spread your content to those people’s friends on Facebook.
Have you seen this widget yet? Basically you can find it right here at the very bottom of the main title of this post. When you click the like button on this post for example, a small facebook pop up window will appear asking you if you’re sure you want to share the story and you go from there. Once you do, it will appear in YOUR profile as saying “John Does likes Steps To Add A Facebook Like Button in Wordpress in the PalatnikFactor.com.”
