Putting the “like”-button back into my blog

An article by Administrator No Kommentare

Alright, alright… two things are inevitably true…

• According to piwik three typical searches hit my blog:
  - latin tattoos (I will not write about that, no matter how many folks search for it here :-)
  - open university
  - the like button in blogengine.net
  
• Ignoring facebook is a impossible these days if you really like people to read your stuff :-)

So here it is… I hereby officially re-include the fb like-button into my blog. (and hope that you’ll use it :-)

Here is how it is done (this time in English since a lot of searches hitting my blog on this are from abroad):

1. Search for the theme folder corresponding to the theme you’ve chosen in blogengine.net. Usually this is in the ~\themes\YOURTHEMENAME folder.
2. Find the File PostView.ascx Sometimes some other file might also be responsible for rendering your blogpost. In case of Arthemia Pro I changed the PostViewFull.ascx
3. Include the following code where appropriate:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<%=Post.PermaLink %>&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show-faces=true&amp;width=50&amp;height:25px&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:25px"></iframe>

That’s it, you’re done :-)
