I set up the facebook like button on my blog and when I click "LIKE", on my facebook profile, it says "XXX (my name) likes Yeok-Rin « GOINGNOWHERE on raw.herobo.com."

Only problem is that at facebook recent activity page, it doesn't show the link, as shown here

Example image

I "liked" a random post and a post from my blog and the one below has a link (blue text with underline) while my post just comes out as a text.

raw.herobo.com/blog/ (again, i can only place one link yet) is my blog, and you can try clicking "LIKE" yourself.

Anyone knows how to fix it? Thank you.

here is my solution for Like button (and other social platform buttons)

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=100&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

This should go inside loop or You can use some globals, like $post if You need them

You can find a detailed tutorial on how to integrate the Facebook Like Button with Wordpress on my blog here:

If you follow these steps the like button will post a link and an image into the users friend feed which is a lot more valuable than just a link.
