Click this button. This should open up a pop-up box on top of your current window.

Look at the window that displays. Most of the time, it'll ask you to "Login to Facebook". Even if you already are logged in, complete the next step. Otherwise, skip ahead to the following step.

Click this "Login to Facebook" button.
6
Use your Facebook credentials to sign into the site.
7
Click the "Sign in" button just below the password line you just provided.
8
Wait a few moments for the website to catch up with your actions and to sign you in.
9
Look over the list of permissions Facebook needs to run the app efficiently.

Click the "Allow" button. You won't be granted access to the app or connection to Facebook, until you click this button.
11
Wait a few moments. It'll all be good at this point. There's no turning back now!

Warnings

Don't be fooled by the Facebook Like button. Liking something won't connect you to the service-ever. There are several ways to unlike this page directly from the page you clicked the like button on.
