Anyway to have a 'like' button for main page?

[NoahsDad]

I have a Facebook like button on each of my individual posts and a box on my home page where people can 'like' my Facebook fan page..but is there any way to have a Facebook 'like' button on my home page so people can actually like the home page?

This is a messy way of doing it in my opinion and will cause you plenty of cross browser issues. But... You can create a background image for the overall div then create a new div inside of it for the like button and use z-index to float it above and simply use margin-left and margin-top to position it. Problem solved If stuck use a css/html forum to ask about the specific code.

I think you are misunderstanding me...you could do it in a why where it "looks" like it's part of the graphic..you knew what i mean?

For instance you could have a graphic with a hole in it, and that hole would be the place where the like button shows up on the side bar..you know what I mean?

OK. Embedding the button into a graphic cant happen.

This all ties into the facebook graph API and is a plugin specifically created at facebooks side to be standard across the board.

Sorry buddy. But no can do.

Work out a way to put the like button where it will be noticed.

Our site: www.capitalalist.com throws it at the bottom of every page.

No, not a pop-up. I want to have a graphic (like in the side bar) that I make in photshop where my son is holding  a sign perhaps that and on the sign is the Facebook like button..if that makes sense. Bascially I want to embed the like button into a graphic...

You mean a popup?

If so I would strongly advise against it. You will find that a) Google hates popups, and b) your bounce rate will increase.

Or do you mean you want to put it at the head of your page?

Please provide a link so we can see exactly what you are talking about with a description on where you want it to sit on the page.

Thanks!

what if I want to put it up in the header somewhere....like make it part of the header with a call out type of box...

I don't have any experience with that....is it possible?

Use this and inject the code into your site!
