    Hi,
    I am new to wordpress and I am in the mist to host a giveaway with multiple sponsors. I would like to add multiple FB “like” buttons to the same post, to facilitate entry to the giveaway see example here: http://studio412imagery.com/giveaway/

    I have been reading like crazy about codes and all seem to wind as to I need to add a special code to my header.php. Found this guide while doing research:
    http://www.hyperarts.com/blog/how-to-add-facebook-like-button-social-plugins-to-wordpress-posts/ , in there the author explains that I need to edit my wp-content > themes > [your theme] > header.php

    Where do I type this address in order for it to show, I meant if there is a specific address bar, search or admin section where I copy and paste this address and will let me perform the modifications?

    So far my visual tab and my HTML tab look exaclty the same, so I figure if I type the FB open graphic code into my HTML it gets stripped.

    Please help me…I have been researching the subject for over a week to no avail, I even had a graphic designer look at my post and she could not figure out what is wrong with my execution or if it is the template. I even change templates this morning thinking it was something wrong with my previous template “fruit shake” to forever to no avail.

    You are reading the wrong instructions. Those are for WordPress.ORG.

    You can use as many FB likes in a post as you want, provided you use the method for adding your own social media button to the Shares. Dashboard->Settings->Sharing. Put it in there.

    Thank You! I realized that this morning after sending the help message. I have a new wordpress.org account and this should help me with my post.
