What is a ‘like’?

You can press me if you ‘like’ – but I go nowhere

I’ve noticed recently that I can’t ‘like’ a lot of the blogs I visit. When I push the ‘like’ button it just takes me to the top of the page. I’ve also noticed that some other people have commented on other blogs that they can’t ‘like’ either.

This may be a WP thing; it may just be that I’m using old versions of IE and/or Firefox; it may be because there is only a certain amount of ‘likes’ to go around and I’m running out of my share (I could be a ‘like’ hog).

Sometimes I read posts that are so good I really wish WP would add another button.

Then there are times where this button would really come in handy.

Anyway – enough of the silliness…

At first it really annoyed me that the ‘like’ button would only work on some posts, but now I’m getting used to it.

In fact, it got me thinking – if I leave a comment, do I really need to push the ‘like’ button as well?

Sometimes I get ‘likes’ from the same people over and over again and I wonder if they’ve read my blog or are ‘liking’ for the sake of ‘liking’ (and I really don’t understand the point of this).

Maybe I could have a button for those people I could push in reply.

I ‘like’ that you ‘like’ me, but I’m not sure ‘why’ – you obviously think I’m a genius and by ‘liking’ you have just donated your entire life savings to the Paris Hilton Second-Hand Shoe Society

Are you still able to ‘like’? Do you get ‘likes’ and wonder who these people are who always ‘like’ but don’t comment? Do you ‘like’ and comment, or just comment without ‘liking’? Or am I just being really confusing now?

I’ll totally understand if you don’t ‘like’.
