"Like" not working correctly
-
I have tried “like”ing several blog posts – and yes, I am logged in when I do – but all that happens when I press the “like” button is that a small window comes up with nothing in it. The first time I tried, that was a login window, but after I logged in, I still get the window and no change in the number of likes. I finally worked around it by adding the blog to my “Reader” where I was able to “like” the post I wanted to, but this makes me think that the like feature in general is not working correctly.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you referring to clicking the like button on the posts of other bloggers? Or are you referring to clicking the like button on the posts on your own blog?

I have another question for you. Please provide the URL(s) of a couple of the blogs you cannot click the like button on.

I am using Firefox, just updated yesterday. Why must third-party cookies be enabled? I usually prefer to have cookies only go back to the site I am looking at.
The blog that I discovered it on is http://saysomethingin.wordpress.com/

@ sionned, Third-party cookies are used when specific features on a site (such as the Like button) rely on resources that we keep on different domains. You can read more about privacy and third-party cookies here:
