Hi WordPress, With all due respect, if non-WordPress members cannot like my post, then what is point? Why should i waste my efforts to engage only with a limited audience. I know you need more writers but imagine you are a non-WordPress member, would you really create a WordPress account just to like your favorite post? I know you must have received numerous complaints about this. Please reconsider this issue. No ‘poll’ alternatives is the same as the real deal. If you refuse to reconsider, I Personally don’t see a future for me here.
Martini ZurichThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: like button use
Just like any other place with a like button, for example, Facebook, one has to register a username account and be logged in to be able to use it. All that’s required to register a WordPress.COM/gravatar account is a valid email address. https://en.support.wordpress.com/likes/This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/Without doubt meaningful comments submitted to increase knowledge on the subject matter in the posts and to encourage others to comment are precious whereas likes are not because there are like button spammers.

I see your posts have the uncategorized category assigned to them. Categories and Tags assigned to posts mean the posts display on the WordPress.COM category pages and are available to all who use tag search to find interesting content and comment on it.
Please see:

Setting the Default Category https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-categoryYou can use tag search to locate other WordPress.com hosted blogs on this subject https://wordpress.com/tag/blogging for example and when you comment on related posts on other sites you may receive some reciprocal visits or not.
Posts display in the Reader for 60 days only.
All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages and in the WordPress.com Reader can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

Quick Tips for Selecting Categories and Tags
1. Categories and Tags are one or two (sometimes three) words keywords (i.e. terms potential readers would be likely to use if they searched your site).
If you wanted to find your blog post then which terms would you search for? Use those terms as your categories and tags.
2. Think in terms of from “broad” to “narrow”. Categories are keywords that define broad topic headings.Tags are keywords are more specific terms indicating what a post is about.
3. Categories and Tags are treated the same way by search engines so avoid duplication. Do not use the same the same keyword or keyword phrase as both Categories and Tags. Do not use keywords already found in the post title and the text as Categories and Tags.
(a) Assigning the same keywords or keyword phrases to the same post makes one appear to be a spamdexer AKA tag spammer trying to game search engine results.
(b) Category and tag duplication has a negative effect when it comes to blog organization and you can end up with an awful mess you need to edit in the future. Worse still, editing categories and tags amounts to deletions and deletions mean broken links in search engine search results.
(c) Remember that readers ought to be able to click one link for a single term (Category or Tag) and find all relevant articles in your blog quickly and easily. Assigning the same terms as both Categories and Tags results in duplicated search results that will be frustrating for readers who are searching your blog.
4. Know that “less is more”. The aim is to use the least combined number of relevant keywords or phrases as possible to accurately describe the contents of any post.
5. Ask yourself: Which three keywords describe your post’s topic, content and message?
