Facebook Like button displays by default without the like count, how do you load it with by default to display count, even when 0?
<fb:like href="url" send="false" layout="button_count" width="100px" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like>
And also how about Pinterest? It's a similar concept.
The iframe version contains the display count even when its a zero.
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=YOUR_URL&send=false&layout=button_count&width=450&show_faces=true&action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=21&appId=401883116500986" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
