Here’s how to add a Tweetmeme button to your blog posts. w/o plugins or long cod

Does anyone know how to include the title of the blog post to be passed in addition to your name and link into Twitter via the Tweetmeme button?

timethief- figured out the problem- I was trying to set it up for an unpublished post. Got it working for the live ones. One more question though- is there a parameter for the Tweetmembutton that allows me to left justify it or can it only be right justified?

Thanks, freshcookiezblog. Good to know. Out of curiousity – how on this green earth did you discover that WordPress.com was supporting this new short code?? When I put ‘tweetmeme’ into the Support search box, I don’t get any hits except for those on the discussion forum…

I’m not speaking for freshcookiezblog but I am aware that this was published last October > http://www.wprecipes.com/wordpress-tip-create-a-tweetmeme-retweeet-shortcode
-
Timethief – the post you point to advises you to alter your functions.php file, but as far as I can figure you can’t do this as a no-frills wordpress.com user. however I am sure that the mysteries of short codes will be revealed when I am ready for them…. oo

Yes that post is for wordpress.org bloggers and I have been waiting since then to see it at wordpress.com. I don’t know where freshcookiezblog got the wordpress.com shortcode from. Maybe it was from Staff. When she posts again we will know the answer. :)

Strange. All I do is add the shortcode [tweetmeme] to the top of my posts and it seems to work as intended. It reports how many times the post has been Tweeted etc. Am I missing additional features by not including the switches in the prefix ?

very nice which it was automatically generated with each post. I tend to forget to put in these social networking codes in my haste to publish.
-
meant to say I wish* in the above post. ,might as well wish for a edit button for posts here :)
-
I’m getting a strange overlap with my tweetmeme button and any videos I embed into the blog post… is there any way to solve this?
Also how can I get my tweetmeme button aligned to the left?

Thanks for all the good advice I can now get a button on my blog but the one thing i cant figure out is why the code actually appears on the blog as if its text. How do i get the button without the code being visible in the blog text?
many thanks

Your wordpress.com blog is not linked to your wordpress.com username. It’s linked to some other site and that’s not at all helpful from this end of things. Please post the URL for the blog in question starting with http:// so we can examine it. -
Is there any chance of a simple “tweet this” / “dent this” link-button as part of the design (preferably below every post)? I don’t really fancy putting code (no matter how small) into every single post and I don’t see why I should force people to use tweetmeme (e.g. it requires granting access) when they could use twitter directly.(it’s really simple: “http://twitter.com/home/?status=your-twitter-message”, for identi.ca it’s “http://identi.ca/notice/new?status_textarea=your-dent-here”).
Is there any way to at least put a link like that in the sidebar? I wouldn’t know how to get the short URL and the (encoded) post subject into the link. Any ideas?
Thanks!

First, thanks for the code.
Secondly I have a problem with the code, namely:
I insert the code before the article, then use the read more button, and when I publish the article, I do not see the button retweet, I see it only when I open all the article completely. Why is this happening?
Maybe the problem in the theme that I use?This is my blog: http://vsego.wordpress.com/
problem can be seen in the first article in muy blog. -

Hello
@jacksroadhouse : you might copy-paste this code in a text-widget
<a href=http://twitter.com/home/?status=your-twitter-message target=_blank> RETWEET THIS POST </a>
or, instead of “retweet this post”, you can write anything you want (I’m french, so I’m not that sure this is an acceptable expression :)
