Adding the Twitter Tweet Button to WordPress

August 12, 2010 By 4 Comments

Update 8/13/2010 – there is now a plug in called Twitter Tweet Button 1.0 that can be installed and enabled via WordPress Plugins. I am still using this original method described below because for me the formatting is off with the button.

I recorded this screencast for people who don’t want to wait for a decent plugin for the Twitter Tweet Button. There are some ways to add this to the single post template manually but with my template it was a complete nightmare to do. Until a plugin is released I this might help you add the new button to your WordPress blog:

This video does provide information on how to use the append plugin to add code or text to every page/post or both:

Thanks Ramon, appreciate the comments and the follow on Twitter. I really like the follow feature in fact it has a lot to do with why I was so anxious to re-implement a Twitter counter. All around a smart move by Twitter I think.

Appreciate the feedback on my site, I will try not to lose those perks when I do my re-design!

I am digging the retweet by Twitter. I like the fact that I am prompted if I want to follow you -- which I just did :-)

BTW, I like your site very clean and easy to navigate.
