Facebook Like, Recommend, Follow

Like & Recommend:

The Like and Recommend buttons on other sites let you express your interest in the content of that site to your friends with one click. In order for your action to appear on Facebook, you must be logged into Facebook at the time you click the button.

When you click Like or Recommend, the button turns darker to indicate your approval. Back on Facebook, a story will appear on your timeline and may appear in ticker and/or News Feed, just as if you liked something on Facebook.

Follow Us:

The Follow button lets other people follow your Facebook business page (i.e., they become a fan of your facebook page).

Like Box ("like our page"):

This is similar to "follow us" as it allows the people who click on it to like your facebook page from your website.

To generate the proper code:

When users click this button they will become fans of your facebook page.
