## Description

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

    directory

 3. Place `<?php printLikes(get_the_ID()); ?>` in ‘the loop’ of your posts wherever
    you want the ‘like this’ link to appear.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 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

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

You can use CSS.
 – LikeThis links have the class `likeThis` – Links that have been
liked also have the class `done` (`.likeThis.done`)
