  Not a problem but a query about a feature: I see that a person has to be logged into WordPress in order to “like” a page. Is that always the case? Are there any ways for someone who does not use WordPress herself to like a WordPress page or post?
  Thanks.

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

  Hi Rhea!

  In order to use the WordPress.com Like button, the user will need to be logged on. WordPress.com Likes operate the same way that other social media networks do in that the user needs to have an account in order to use the platform buttons. For example, users without a Facebook account cannot use Facebook Likes. If your readers would like to “Like” your post at WordPress.com, they will need to create an account!
