Does anyone know how to add a Facebook like button to the home page. Facebook offers 3 flavors of code: HTML5, XFBML, and IFRAME, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I think it has to do because the website is a shopping site you might need to place the code differently then in a website.
I would put in a ticket to support as they should know how to help you on this one.

It was painless on my test shop.

Here's the code I used.

Eric- I'm a bit confused (but then I am HTML challenged). I checked out your test page and I don't see the facebook "like" button anywhere. I got the same iframe code as you did from facebook, and using the insert html on my home page, I pasted it in to my homepage, but when I preview, I don't see the button. The code from my homepage is below.
[[[<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="generator" content="CoffeeCup HTML Editor (www.coffeecup.com)"> <meta name="created" content="Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:26:12 GMT"> <meta name="description" content=""> <meta name="keywords" content=""> <title></title> <!--[if IE]> <script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script> <![endif]--> </head> <body><img src="http://yowzers.com/YowzersHomePage.jpg" width="777" height="438" alt="" title="" border="0" /><img src="http://yowzers.com/Shipping.jpg" width="777" height="72" alt="" title="" border="0" /> </body></html>]]]

That's weird. I see it in IE9, Opera 11, Chrome, and FX 7. What are you using?

Eric- Now this is odd; I tested it in MSIE & Google Chrome, and I see the facebook button, but NOT in Firefox, which is the browser I use most. Go figure?!
