title: Implementing a specific like counter
body: <p>Alright, this is quite a strange and not very specific question, but stackoverflow is my last hope, so here it goes:</p>
  
  <p>I've been building my own website based on a CMS for the last weeks, and so far, I managed to fix every problem I've encountered with patience, luck and/or a good search, even though I have just some basic HTML/CSS knowledge. But now I'm completely stuck at implementing a like counter. The coder of the CMS created a small snippet <a href="https://gist.github.com/3129327" rel="nofollow">here</a> with some basic instructions. I followed them, yet I'm unable to get it working. I can recieve the error</p>
  
  <p><code>{"status":"error","msg":"The post could not be found"}</code></p>
  
  <p>, yet I can't increase the counter (it just redirects me to my Error-Page) and I have no clue what to do exactly with the Ajax-Example. I've already tried to ask in their forum, but nobody answered me. I tried to learn from the code of a working <a href="http://csspandemic.com/" rel="nofollow">website</a>, but that didn't help either. I'm completely stuck, and haven't been able to get it working using Google.</p>
  
  <p>So, it would be great if somebody could explain to me how to implement it, or point me to a similar example.</p>
  
  <p>I know that this is a strange question and I fully understand if you can't/won't help me, but thanks in advance anyways.</p>
