:: [ Tutorial ] Add the Facebook Like button in Blogger using iFrame or XFBML





Basically , there are two methods that are allowed by Facebook to add Like button  to your blog.

  1. If you prefer the basic Like button, you can use a simple iframe method. 
  2. If you prefer a fuller-featured Like button, it is available via the

    <fb:like>
    XFBML tag. This version enable users to add a comment to their like as it is posted back to Facebook.
Note: 

1. Please back-up your template first before doing any changes.


2. To copy the code, just press Ctrl-A ( or highlight the code ) + Ctrl-C 
(Right-click is disabled in this blog )

iframe method
  1. Go to Layout  > Edit HTML
  2. Then, mark the Expand Widget Templates checkbox
  3. Press Ctrl-F, then find



    <data:post.body/>
  4. Then, paste this code  either before or after it



    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
    <iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=100&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light&quot;' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:40px;'/>
    </b:if>

Hint #1: Paste it before the code if you want to put the Like button at the top of your post entry,

Hint #2 : Paste it after the code if you want to put the Like button at the bottom of your post entry,
