    I would like to ask if it is possible that others who do not have wordpress account can like my post. I think this is not empowered for such a blog like mine. Is there any way to do that?

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

    No. An in-house like button is available here for meber use only just as it is on Facebook. The button cannot be used by anyone unless they have a WordPress.com/Gravatar account and ware logged into WordPress.com when they click it.

    Do be aware that likes count for nothing except making us feel warm and fuzzy. Likes and shares are not pages view stats. Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as in email and the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.

    You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here > Settings > Reading and choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed or the “full text”. If you set it to summary then visitors have to click into the blog to read the full post.

    edit: “meber” was meant to be “member”
