It seems that if i click thru from the notification icon on the top right hand corner I can see the people who are liking the posts..their gravitars show up. However if I click thru from my admin page I dont see them..perhaps because they are not editable?
So I presume visitors can now see them, as you could, and I can (via the notification icon) but they are not visible from the admin page.

Does that seem as if it might be the answer to you...?

My gravatar appeared next to 3 other garacatrs and so did this right next to the like button: "You and 3 other bloggers like this post."

thanks

Is there a way to count 'likes' on a post?
At the moment people are liking posts (it tells me on admin page) but on the post itself it invites visitors to be the first to like and counts no one as liking it...
Thank you
