I Recommend This – Love/Like Button for WordPress Posts

Really awesome plugin I love to use on my sites! 

Love it!


Lean and mean with a minimalistic (and overidable) button/css. Kudos to the developer! No bloat, no jQuery.



After trying 8 other plugins this is the clear winner!


Great!

?>
</code></pre>
