Quick Tip: Add a Facebook "Like" Button To Your BC Blog In Just 3 Easy Steps
Adding a Facebook "Like" button to your blog posts is a great way to encourage social media sharing within your community and spread your content across the web.
What's even better is that it takes just seconds to implement!
Step 1. Go More Customization Options > Blog Layouts > Blog Post Layout and switch the editor over to HTML mode
Step 2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and insert the following code:
<!-- Facebook Like Button BEGIN --> <iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=yoursite.com{tag_permalinkonly}&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35" style="border: medium none; overflow: hidden; width: 450px; height: 35px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> <!-- Facebook Like Button END -->
Replacing "yoursite.com" with your site's actual domain.
Step 3. Save the layout, and you're done.

How about adding the FB like also to a web app item or a product?
Please do tell.
Thanks
The page at http://onlinein48hours.com.au%7Btag_permalinkonly%7D/ could not be reached.
@Vincent - implementing this for other system features is possible, however you'll need to construct the URL using tags or some JavaScript that grabs the page URL. Just make sure the parameter you're replacing is "yoursite.com{tag_permalinkonly}"
Hope that helps!

In order to insert the Facebook Like Button widget in your blog posts you have to insert only {tag_permalinkonly} (the domain is included in the tag_permalink path).
<!-- Facebook Like Button BEGIN --> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=%7Btag_permalinkonly%7D&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35" style="border: medium none; overflow: hidden; width: 450px; height: 35px;" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> <!-- Facebook Like Button END -->
This is the way I used it in my site.
Thanks,
Bogdan
