need help putting facebook like button on website

THOMAS TYRRELL

hi all,
im no computer wizz but i managed to put together my own website, now im trying to put the facebook like button on it and im having some trouble.
first im not sure if it makes any difference but i set up my website using r.v. sitebuilder(free online software from $1 web hosting).
I tried to put up the like box by going into the social plugins section of facebook and i put in my user id number which i copied from the address bar.
got the facebook code, went onto r.v. sitebuilder, edit site, scource, and pasted the code from facebook, saved and now im getting a box where the facebook like button should be but all thats in the box is some error message from facebook which i can only see part of which you can see here http://tyrrellsautorepairs.com/index.php

what it's saying is that it can't find the Facebook page. Double check that you have entered the right page URL.

Looked it up and your page is:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tyrrells-autos/107327879321791

BTW Have you thought about using a vanity URL (username)?

How much code do you have to paste into the box?

THOMAS TYRRELL

all i put in was the id no 107327879321791 which is how i seen people doing it on youtube and it seemed to work fine, i didnt have any other info other than the number.
tried to get a vanity url but my phone no is already registered with another private fb page so ill need to pick up myself a new sim card to get it..

The functionality of Facebook on Mobile is very limited. You need to sit down in front of a PC and get it all sorted - after all FB is an great tool for business.

Can you put this code into the box?

You should also look at creating a Facebook Place using your mobile.
