Adding a Facebook Like Button To Your WordPress Website

Earlier this week, Ohio State students staged a wanna be flash mob where dozens of students danced together in the new student union to the ever so popular Glee version of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the video hot off of You Tube, where’s it has seen over a half million views in just a few days.

Undoubtedly, this video has been shared on Facebook and Twitter the same number of times. I’m not even an OSU fan, and when President Gordon Gee comes across with Brutus Buckeye, I almost shed a little tear.

So this post you’re reading right now…it could be about anything, right? It just happens to be about OSU because that’s what was hot in my neck of the woods this week. Whatever your non-profit or small business writes about, you obviously want your readers to share with other people, whether those people are at your site or not. Now visitors can simply click a Facebook LIKE button on your site and just like they LIKE a link or video on Facebook, they can LIKE your article. Once they LIKE it, a short line will appear on their wall that says, “Angie Meeker likes Adding a Facebook Like Button To Your WordPress Website,” except that it will have their name, and their article, obviously. Let’s get people showing their friends on Facebook how much their like your website.

Here’s how to install the NEW Facebook LIKE button on your WordPress site.

BTW – It didn’t show up in my feed because when I tested it earlier, and it DID show up, I hid it…so that it wouldn’t be there when I went to show you it magically appear for the video. Try it yourself and see it work!
