Is there a way for non-bloggers to like posts or can only bloggers like a post?

  It seems that only people on wordpress can ‘like’ a post, is there any way to open that up to all people?

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

  Only readers with a WordPress.com account can like a post.

  Thanks! I’m assuming that means there isn’t a way to open it up to everyone or have a separate “like” button for everyone to be included.

  re: like button use

  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.

  Correct. There is no way to open it up to everyone.
