Does anyone know if there's a way of adding a Like to FaceBook to a webpage that doesn't have a FaceBook Like Button?

To explain - I would like to add a link to all my sheet music publications (Sheet Music, Music Books & Scores At Sheet Music Plus) as a Like in my FaceBook, yet because the only FaceBook button is the Generic one to the SheetMusicPlus Facebook site, it doesn't come up with the page I want.

Whenever I Google it, the only thing I ever come up with is how to add a FaceBook Button to my own website, which I already know how to do, but isn't what I need to know.

You have to build a page in FB for it, I believe. Toward the bottom left you will see a create page.

Tried that - it just comes up as another FaceBook page like I've already got.

I've tried setting up a webpage using my own webspace, where I have embedded the url, and tried adding a Like button to that, but all that does is to say that I Like The Link & not include it among my Likes as a webpage. It looks like the Likes section will only Like Facebook pages.

" search their FB page and hit "like"

It's a plugin supplied by Facebook :-

I know how to add a Like Button to my own site. That's not the problem. What I'm wanting to add to my Likes, in the form of a FB Bookmark is what is, essentially a Search result, and thus doesn't have an individual Like Button included on it by the company (SheetMusicPlus.com), although I have eMailed them, suggesting they consider adding some sort of dynamic function to do this. The embedding code generated by FaceBook is very simple & doesn't even really need a generator tool, so a dynamic URL wouldn't be a problem.

The reason I want iton my FB Likes is not so much for my own use, in which case I would simply add it to my Bookmarks, but so that anyone else viewing my FB Likes can also see it & go there. It's no good simply putting it on the Timeline, because after a few posts it's disappered to be hidden beneath all the rest of the subsequent posts.

From what I can make out, it looks like you can only Like actual FaceBook pages, not standard URLs, which is a bit of a bummer.

With apologies, I misunderstood the requirement
