Facebook confusion..

[homeyjay]

Please bear with me as i'm REALLY new to social media and facebook and am trying to learn.

I have a webpage for my business and I have a facebook page for my business too.
If I add a FB like button to my website, do I enter the website URL in the code or the FB page URL?

Also, how does adding a like button that points to the website URL link to the Facebook page?

I'm sorry to ask such basic questions but I really cant seem to get to grips with this..

Just copy paste the code facebook gives you to link to your page, its as simple as that! Here's some example code:

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

You can place this anywhere on your site where you want the FB button to appear.

Or you can use this page to create your own custom link buttons http://developers.facebook.com/docs/.../plugins/like/ which also explains the code above.

Thanks, but what I wanted to know was exactly what I put in the ?href=YOUR_URL bit. Is it the URL of the website or the URL of the Facebook page?

Did you not bother to look at the like I gave you?

Here's a quote from what it says when you mouse over the ? next to the URL box "The URL to like. In XFBML, defaults to the current page.", in other words your websites url. Does that not answer your question?

Thanks Nathaniel for this tip. God bless!
