adding facebook like to site

[eribbit69]

Hello again!,
I tried to follow the instructions from facebook but I don't understand the javascript part. I watched the tutorial on adding elements but that didn't help....it says to add the javascript once but I need to be walked through this...I have the codes ready to go...
Thank you!

Hi, Could you please add the facebook like button to the page then publish it again, currently I do not see the code in the page HTML so I cannot diagnose why it is not working.

Re: adding facebook like to site

I was afraid to publish it because I now if it is wrong it will mess up the loading of the page...I looked at the preview. I will publish it now. I will not be able to fix it if it messes up...you can help me

Holy cow it's there! It takes a second longer to load than the rest of my page though and I can't see the HTML code in the preview. Is this normal for this particular tag?

Re: adding facebook like to site

Hi, looking at the page code it is calling an outside source so you would not be seeing it on the preview, this is also why it takes a little longer to load.
