Some might already have the like button, so go to the like button script and replace this line layout=button_count with layout=box_count

For WordPress

Go t0 Single.php in your WordPress admin and add the following in Single.php

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&amp;layout=box_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;font=arial" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:50px;"></iframe>

If you already have the like button, replace the layout=button_count with layout=box_count
