Turn on the Like Button for WordPress Blogs

WordPress.com rolled out with a Like button feature, similar to Facebook's, about 2 years ago. They have recently reported that WordPress bloggers are clicking the Like button about 800,000 times a day, making it a highly interactive feature of the platform. In order to turn this feature on in your WordPress blog, go to Settings. Under Settings, click on Sharing. You should see an option like the one below that you need to enable.

Some users may find another option depicted below.

In this case, you can enable the Like feature by choosing on for all posts or turned on per post. If you select turned on per post, you will have to click "Show likes for this post" under the Likes and Shares section of each independent blog post.
