Like This Plugin

A simple ‘I like this’ plugin inspired by the facebook ‘like’ functionality. For visitors who don’t want to bother with commenting.

1. Upload the files into a folder named roses-like-this to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Place <?php printLikes(get_the_ID()); ?> in ‘the loop’ of your posts wherever you want the ‘like this’ link to appear.

How can I make the ‘like this’ link look prettier?

You can use CSS.

– Links that have been liked also have the class done (.likeThis.done)
