 * Hello,
 * Must say – great plugin, simple and easy!
 * However I have an issue – for security reasons I always password protect the 
   wp-admin directory on my WordPress installations. Your plugin works fine if I
   have signed into the directory, but for everyone but me, when I try and like 
   a post, a login box pops up immediately requesting login. This is for server-
   side login to the directory, not login to WordPress.
 * I’m not prepared to unprotect the directory as I’ve been hacked before… but I
   want to use your plugin! Have you got any ideas how I can work around this?
 * Many thanks!
