  People who are registered wordpress.com bloggers tell me they cannot “Like” my posts unless they register. Is there anything I can do to change that?
  Blog url: http://discoveringla.wordpress.com/

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

  No. If they don’t have a usrname account at WordPress.com they cannot use the “;ike” button. the same is true of Facebook and everywhere else I’m aware of ie. you need to be a member to use internal functions.

  You’re welcome. It’s easy to get a username account only. No one has to register a blog. There is a “username only option” and al that’s required is an email address (I recommend a throwaway one that’s not associated with a gavatar account or another blog) see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
