  Hello there WordPress!

  I just started my little Blog https://allkindsofblood.wordpress.com/ .

  After i finally found a nice minimalistic theme, i had to realize that is actually i little bit too minimalistic. It has no “Like” option. So i was wondering how/if i could integrate such a thing.

  Thank you in advance!

  Note: One has to have a WordPress.com/Gravatar account and be logged into WordPress.com to use the “in-house” WordPress.COM like button for WordPress.COM bloggers. In other words, it’s the same here as it is at Facebook and everywhere else there is an “in-house” like button provided for member use only.

  Go to the Settings → Sharing page in your dashboard to set up social network sharing icons for your visitors to use. They will appear at the bottom of each post and page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/
