One of the newest cool things to come out of the f8 Conference is the Open Graph protocol/API that makes it really easy to get Facebook integrated with your blog or website.
The easiest thing to do right now is to add a Facebook Like button to your site:
You can see one on this blog over in the right sidebar (for the ProWorks Blog) at the bottom of each post or try it for this post below:
To get this now, go to the Like Button Builder on Facebook. It’s super-easy for a single URL.
Once you get this going, you can add a news feed of all of the people liking stuff on your site. That is done with the Activity Stream Builder. Again, super easy. Check it out:
For more information on the new Facebook features, take a look at the recorded stream from the f8 Conference Keynote.
Yes I can get the code, but “where” do I place it. Thanks
Depends on your setup.
In WordPress, if you want it in your sidebar, then add a “Text” widget, paste the code in the big box, save, and voila you have a like button for your blog.
You can also edit your template and paste it into the footer or body or something. Note: this may not be an option for hosted WordPress.
Basically, anywhere you can put HTML, you can paste the iframe code. Even inside a blog post.
Does that help?
