I'm no coder, and it shows!

Just giving the blog a new lick of paint, new wp template and just plugging in some mods.

But I am stumped on how wordpress generates a URL? Does anyone know what code I need to add in, or have something I can past in.

Basically I need to generate a web link for Facebook from my blog posts.

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:like href="http://mylocalblog.co.uk/<dynamically generated weblink?????>" action="recommend" show_faces="false" width="550" send="true"></fb:like>


Have tried
%postname%/
%post_id%/

<?php wp_title(''); ?> works great for Post Titles, just need the equivelent of this that will give me the post URL.

Any ideas?
It's frustrating, the ability to liquidate one company then start another, but the basic rule stands...

Never agree to anything from a cold call.

5 minutes Google research will either confirm it's someone you don't want to do business with, or is a company who is who they say they are, have a decent online reputation and offer a service or product that interest you.

Then you can then phone them back.

If we all learnt this basic lesson quick enough in our business careers, then there would be no market for pressure selling.

Maybe a practical test during the interview? Is that viable? Weed out any blaggers?
“Forgot to mention, I just +1'd your home page.”

Too true, need more hours in the day! I'm guessing this will really take off when Google finally decides to officially launch the Plus1 network, I'm just impatient

Just curious what data and characteristics the Google god will give us.

Anyone out there seeing any yet??

hmm, has been very quiet. I think with the Google Panda updates and then operation Google+, this may have been moved into the background for the time being.

Maybe we're not quite ready for an Internet powered lappie just yet, or at least in the UK with our stone age infrastructure...
