  Hi! How can I add a like button so people who are not wordpress bloggers can like my posts?
  There is already a like button on my about and contact pages but not my front page where my blog posts are.

  Thanks in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  To show the “Like” button on your home/front page, go to Dashboard > WP Admin > Settings > Sharing. Here’s a direct link to it.

  When opened, scroll down to Show buttons on and check the “Front page, Archive pages, and Search Results” option.

  Note that those visitors who are not logged into a WordPress.com or Gravatar account cannot like posts.

  Not possible that way, as this feature is a part of WordPress.com and Gravatar community, similar to how “favorite” works at Twitter, or a “like” on Facebook. :)
