Last week we launched the Facebook "Like" button on TypePad blogs to all of our Beta members. Thank you for all the great feedback! One of the top requests we've received was the ability to "like" on the post level rather than at the blog level. So you'll be happy to know, we're working to make the post level "Like" button available in all TypePad themes. However, we know our Beta Team likes to be on the cutting edge, so here's how you can do it in Advanced Templates:
If you'd like to add a Facebook Like button to your posts, just copy the script below and follow the instructions for pasting that into your templates.
If you'd like to add a Facebook Like button to your posts, just copy the script below and follow the instructions for pasting that into your templates.
<!-- facebook like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/widgets/like.php?href=<$MTEntryPermalink encode_url="1"$>" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>
Add the code in the Individual Archives template and within the MTEntries container tag in the Main Index and Archive templates. The button can be placed wherever you wish but it's generally added in the post footer area (MTEntriesFooter).
You can adjust the above width to fit into your sidebar. For more customization options, check out Facebook's Social Plugins pages.
