Adding Facebook "Like" to website

Is there a way to add the Facebook “Like” button to a website if you don’t know HTML? Or is there a fairly easy way to explain how to put the code into the site’s HTML?

The Share button is as easy as this (paste this into a Markup Item and
drag it to wherever you want to on your page)

<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"  
type="text/javascript"></script>

The Like button is a the same, only it creates an iframe to do its
thing. Paste this into a different Markup Item, make sure that you
make it larger than its contents (larger than 450 x 80 px) and place
it wherever:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/widgets/like.php?href=http://example.com 
"
         scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
         style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>

Thanks. I have to do some homework on what a mark-up item is.

If I do your “share” button, what happens when someone clicks on it. Does it launch their mail client?

No, if they click on it, they post a link to your page on their
Facebook page. And I left out a line. Put this in before the <script
tag:

<a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" share_url="www.example.org"></a>

There are lots of different values you can enter in the type
attribute, they give you larger or different icons. More info at http://developer.facebook.com

I don’t know anything about editing HTML. Where does this line of code go?

Draw a Markup Item where you want the Share button to go. You will see
a dialog in the center of your screen. Paste the following text into
it, and be sure to change example.org to your own URL!

<a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" share_url="www.example.org"></a>
<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share"  
type="text/javascript"></script>

I am unclear on how to draw a Markup item. I see “Mark-up item”) under the Insert menu, but it brings up the dialog box right away. Is there a step ahead of that to place the item in the right spot on the page?

The way it seems to work is that you enter the contents first, then when you hit OK on that, the item is created on the page; you can then drag it around and resize it.
