Facebook Like Button Error

After a couple of hours of struggling to find out why I was getting an intermittent javascript error that Firebug reported as 'FB.provide is not a function' that resulted in my Facebook Like button not appearing I found the root of the problem.

For some reason Facebook conversion tracking was causing a conflict. I don't use Facebook conversion tracking at the moment so deleted the offending script and my Facebook Like button now works fine - no errors and it is displayed on every page as expected.

I will reinstall Facebook conversion tracking at some point in the Future and find a solution to conflict but for now I am happy that my Facebook Like button is working again.
