Ability to like blog posts
It would be extremely useful if we were able to like blog posts in the same way we can like other articles on the site. I understand that many years ago, this was possible only with a linked Facebook account, but this feature was eventually removed and now the only way users can interact with the blog is through comments.
This makes it pretty difficult to gauge how successful the blog actually is, even just within the site’s pre-existing userbase. Having the ability to like these posts would make this easier to evaluate, and I feel like it would help the blog a lot even if it still required you to have an account on site, since a) it would allow the social media team see how many site users read but don’t comment on their articles, and b) it would show any non site users that the blog and our sites are getting better levels of engagement than if they only see comments.
I don’t know the full reasons as to why this feature was removed, but I think it’d definitely be worth implementing (or at least considering) once again, whether as a feature for everyone or just for site users :)

It is actually possible through this link! It has to be added to the site manually by MoM/HM but it is possible! They allow the blog to be seen as other article boards.

Totally agree, its a great way to show that there is people on site that likes the stuff that is posted! Also a great way to show SoMe that their job is really great and people read it!

This is in my opinion a brilliant idea (and i am not just saying that as a SoMe member) the fact that the buttons are there but not functional is a bit of a shame, because i know personally that seeing that little number of engagement go up is a really good confidence boost and can sometimes give you the push you need for another post, knowing that people like it even if they don’t have much to say :)
