How to Add Facebook Like button to your website

The below script adds Facebook Like button to your website despite the scripting language used, so it works with coldfusion, php, jsp, ruby on rails, etc. This implementation is based on Graph API. Also the code below can be used to add Facebook Like Button to wordpress and blogger blogs.

The settings in red can be customized to fit with your website, the code is below:

<iframe 
src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourwebsite.com%2F&amp;
layout=standard&amp; 
show_faces=true&amp; 
width=230&amp;
action=like&amp;
colorscheme=light&amp;
height=95
scrolling="no" 
frameborder="0" s
tyle="border:none; 
overflow:hidden; 
width:230px;  
height:95px;" 
allowtransparency="true">
</iframe>

replace www.yourwebsite to your website address.
showfaces is set to true if you want the faces of the people who pressed on like button to appear on the like widget, else set it to false.

The size of the like widget is set based on the height and width arguments.

Please note that you don't need any programming skills to implement this code, just add this code to your web page and it will work.

The Semantic Web

Semantic Web aims to create a meaning and define inter-relationship for information available on the web In the early stages of the World Wide Web (web) it was necessary to develop standards to view web content (HTML language) and to create communication channels (N-Tier applications, email, ftp, etc.). As the web started to be the world’s largest knowledge base, accessible world wide, it became important to develop tools to transfer knowledge between cultures. However, it is still not possible for applications and agents to interoperate with other applications and agents without having a predefined, human created common framework of the meaning of the information being transferred on both sides. Semantic Web (SW) alleviates this problem by providing a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries [W3C Semantic Web, 2019]. A clear example on SW application is schema.org. Google, Bing, Yahoo use schema

This TV series was written and directed by Anwar Qawadri a Syrian director who studied and lived in London. The below video is about 8 minutes show when Sami finds out that his friend Eddy (Adnan) passed away.
