  Hi, I payed 100$ for this blog. I’ve now noticed that you can’t ‘like’ anything on here if you dont have an account? How can you justify that? I payed money, I want people to be able to like my blog through facebook or anything easy, so that hopefully it will gain popularity and some more people can benefit from what Ive learned.

  The Like button you’re referring to is the WordPress.com Like button, it’s a WordPress.com Community feature, so it requires a WordPress.com account.

  You can add a Facebook Like button, and other such buttons, via Settings -> Sharing in your blog’s Dashboard.

  Add social share buttons (classic themes)

  You’re welcome!

  It’s not automatic because there are so many options, we don’t want to force any particular one on you, and we certainly dont want to force all of them on you. ;)

  Nah, we don’t make any money from the WordPress.com Like button, unless someone enjoys it so much they open a blog and buy an upgrade. ;)
