  Hi, whenever someone tries to share anything from my site via twitter at the end of the update it says ‘via @wordpressdotcom’. Is there any way to change it so automatically it will say the twitter account of my site at the end? I’m not looking to get my own username in there, I just wish “via @wordpressdotcom” wouldn’t appear every single time.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, but I’m not interested in a tweet button with my own username, I just want to drop the wordpressdotcom stuff. It’s a consistent annoyance, having to delete it every time I tweet my posts.

  If you don’t want it to say “via @campaignofshockandawe”, then it doesn’t have to. Follow the instructions but remove “&via=mytwittername” from the URL.
