  downloaded the ulike plug-in and cannot figure out how to open it. Extracted the files but there doesn’t seem to be any file to start the plug-in. Do I need to install something else before I can use it? Also, my WP admin page has no scroll down plug-ins listing, that I’ve seen referenced as a possible fix. How do I add the plug-ins listing, for that matter. I’m sure this is way easier than I am making it. Thanks for the help

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

  Plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. If you want to use plugins you need to switch to a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  Please see this article for more on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Thanks! I managed to find that info page, shortly after posting my question. Not particularly tech savvy so it looks like I’ll be sticking to the .com site for simps. Damn shame. Was hoping to have a like button function for general internet users, not just wordpress users.

  Guess what?! It’s your lucky day! WordPress.com supports Facebook integration, including a Facebook like button.

  In spite of what that support doc says, the Facebook button is a sharing button, not like. Used to be you could add the like button by using the official button style, but they changed that to a sharing button as well last week.
