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!

<h3>General Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Under E-Mail Settings, modify the setting Method Used To Send E-Mail accordingly. If the method is wrong, no email will get sent.</li>
<li>You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)</li>
<li>Open <code>wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php</code> (You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also)
<ul>
<li>Find: <code><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?></code></li>
<li>Simply add this code inside the loop where you want the email link to display: <code>if(function_exists('email_link')) { email_link(); }</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>If you DO NOT want the email link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just use the shortcode by typing [email_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the email link into that post/page only.</p>
