Did you have 87 members of the Facebook Page that it creates for you after you put up the Like button (the admin end of the Like button) and then that went down to 27? I'm seeing 32 Likes now, btw, congrats :) Hi Ken,

In the case of the new Facebook Platform, having a WordPress blog gives you three distinct advantages over traditional template-style websites.

1. Content Creation – Blogs allow you to quickly and easily create valuable AND SHARABLE content in a consistent manner – something people can keep coming back to “like”.
2. Ease Of Use – The new Social Graph plugins is the tip of the iceberg.

WordPress allows users without any technology skills to implement plugins in a painless manner.
