Facebook help

[agt_spooky]

So like I mentioned in my previous post, I just created a Facebook page for my writing alter ego:

Jamie Lynn Miller's Facebook page

Let me just say that I HATE Facebook. I don't understand how it works and I don't want to be there. But unfortunately it's a necessary evil when it comes to ebook promotion, making contacts, etc.

Here's my question: I've had a few people Like my page, which is great. But I don't understand how, since I don't see a Like button on my own page. And vise versa, when I go to their page to Like it in return, I don't see a Like button. But not for everyone. For some folks the Like button is there. Why is that? Why do some people have Like buttons and others don't? I thought that was standard on every Facebook page. I feel like I'm being so rude and ignoring people because I can't Like them back when I really want to thank them.

Can anyone help me out, explain this Like thing to me? And can you guys see a Like button on my page?

Thanks!

I hope you figure it out. I can't see a like button. I think you would need to change the type of page to allow people to like it rather than needing to send friend requests.

After consulting a “specialist” aka my best friend’s husband who is a FB fanatic, I understand everything now. Personal pages like mine can only do friend requests. Business and Group pages have the Like button.
