Im building a blog and I'm adding a facebook 'Like' button. I've done this before with no trouble, but not this time.

I can put in my Fan Page URL it shows up, I then pres 'get the code' post it in my widget box and I still get the default Facebook developers page..... arrrrgghhh :bang:

Looking at the code it doesn't seem to have a specific identifier in it, I'm just wondering if it's Facebook just playing up for a bit :shrug:

Any ideas, much apreciated
 
You could be falling foul of the FaceBook link caching issue. I spent ages trying to solve the same problem only to find that Facebook simply cached the link details the first time I used it and from that point on any changes I made were irrelevant.

Have you tried it on a different page/url?

Show us the code.

Blog pages are a bit tricky as they share a URL with the other blog entries displayed on the blog. You would need to ensure the link for the blog post links to a permalink page for just that blog post.

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fplatform&amp;width=292&amp;connections=10&amp;stream=false&amp;header=false&amp;height=255" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:292px; height:255px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>


Gobaldy gook as far as I'm concerned?
 
... or are you trying to get people to 'Like' your fan page? Not sure having just re-read your post. I was assuming you want to have people 'like' your individual blog posts. Not sure now.

Options I'm not sure on then...

1) Like button on each blog post. User 'likes' individual blog post and that is linked from their wall.

2) Like button on blog as a whole. User likes blog and that is linked from their wall but always links to the latest view of your blog.

3) Like button on your website 'likes' your Facebook fan page. When someone 'likes' the link on their facebook wall directs to your fan page and not your website/blog.

Yep, to like my fan page, Opt 3, I'm going for just using the FB button now, seems a lot easier and my heads starting to hurt, and your buns on your site are making me hungry :)

Thanks for trying, muchly appreciated :thumbs:
