  I can’t like posts on other blogs. The pop up hangs somewhere between entering my password and actually liking. It worked originally but now it does not. I even tried uninstalling JAVA and reinstalling and that didn’t help.

  Are you referring only to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs?
  If so are you logged in? You cannot “like” a post on any free hosted WordPress.COM blog without being logged into WordPress.com.

  Vote that Java and enabling JavaScript on your browser are not the same thing at all. You must enable JavaScipt on your browser.

  Please work through what follows and report back.

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
