I just created a Facebook page for my blog and am working on adding the like button. I suppose my first question is, is there already a like button added to a Facebook fan page itself and the code for the like button is so you can create a like button on a whole different page, like my Blogspot blog page? Since I'm the admin I'm not sure if I'm seeing whatever else is. If not, I'd like to add a like button to my Facebook page for people to like, but for the life of my cannot figure out where to paste the code. I know it says behind the tag, but that doesn't mean anything to me. Please help.

On the Facebook page is a like button of course already integrated, on that page you can get code for your Blog or website.
Specifically, you're looking for this plugin:

Specify the URL you want the like button to like, whether that be your blog post or your facebook page.
You are looking for the facebook Like Box.

I have a problem. I created an app in FB and then with that app I created a like button. FB says that I should see an admin link next to my like button on my website when I am logged in.
I have fb:app_id and fb:admins set up in meta, still I don'see the link. I would need it for two reason.
One is to acces the admin of the page so I can send messages for people who liked my site, also I want to set up a fanpage and once I could access the admin of the website likes according to the facebook documentation I could turn it into a fan page (FB page) this way not loosing the likes.
Thanks in advance
That functionality is deprecated, there's a migration guide on Facebook's developer site explaining how to move your OG pages to regular pages if you want to maintain part of that functionality
I have successfully installed the facebook like button in iframe, but it seems like the "Likes" count is incorrect. I have tried liking a post from several accounts, and it always appear as only 1 like.
Any idea how to solve this?
I had a some "bug" with facebook like button.
First check yourt metas, and your og: properties. Put your url into a like button generator (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) and try to like your page. If the count is
Please try to change the like url to the facebook page, what is generator for your page to administer it. It was my solution to fix it.
I've searched for a while but I've only found the Facebook UI, that has some basic dialogs. Maybe some of you know some iOS apps that can open the comments page in a new "page" (e.g. Flipboard). Is there a way to show the comment page directly from Facebook or I have to simulate it through the API?
UPDATE: Not a page comment box. I want to show the comments of a post.
It is possible to create a facebook app showing your comment box. The same comment box can be showed in different pages/ urls using the "data-href" url.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com" data-num-posts="2" data-width="470"></div>
You could eventually add an static url in a database or something like that to wich you can always refer.
I dont exactly know what you want but i hope this helps
I created a site and added a Facebook like button to it. Weeks later I realised that I would also like to have a Facebook page for the site. Good enough, except that when I create the FB page, it has its own Like count and its at 0. Is there anyway to integrate the existing like button with the new page?
URL likes and Facebook PAGE like are different things. So, I don't think its possible to migrate your URL likes to your FB Page.
I've got a Drupal website with articles on them which have Facebook like buttons.
Now I've got all the OpenGraph metatags added on the pages and it's all working perfectly except for one thing.
Site visitors can share a page URL or like a page URL.
When a new article is added and the first person who presses the like button will not see the image added in the og:image tag.
If another person afterwards presses the like button, the og:image however is visible so it seems to me Facebook needs to scrape the page first before the og:image is added in the 'Facebook Like window'.
The Facebook share doesn't seem to suffer from this problem and does it right from the first time.
Now whenever somebody adds a new article, I'd need the URL of the article to be scraped automatically by Facebook using some PHP code or some other fix...
Anyone who knows if autoscraping a URL is possible or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
You can use the graph API with scrape=true to force Facebook to scrape you right when you create your contents
