I Can't Get "Like" to Work on Other Blogs
-
I have tried to “like” several posts on a few different wordpress blogs. A window popped up, but stayed blank. My gravatar did not appear, and in my Reader it claims I have not “liked” anything yet. I read the “how to like” FAQ – that’s what I did. What gives?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I don’t understand what grounds would there be for such an objection?
