Here’s how to add a Tweetmeme button to your blog posts. w/o plugins or long cod
-
It says “Tweeted” because you’ve tweeted it. You can only tweet each post once; to other people, who have not tweeted it yet, it says “Retweet”. That is to stop greedy people from hitting the button over and over and over, ramping up the fake numbers.
This is not a PROBLEM. This is how it’s supposed to work.

My blog address is http://phoxis.wordpress.com and recently i have mapped my domain name http://phoxis.org with wordpress.com and using this as the primary address. The thing i notice that the linktweets from phoxis.wordpress.com seems to be lost, and those posts shows 0 tweets, although the checkbox beside Twitter in the publicize box is checked and inactive. what is the matter here, i am confused.

I think I must be a numpty but I can’t get this to work at all. I’ve gone into the html editor in my post, and added at the top of all the code the following:
[tweetmeme source=”tvustudent” only_single=false http://tvustudent.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/xanga-com-usability-evaluation/%5D
And it it placing this into the post as text, it’s not working.
Am I missing something?
Or am I meant to be putting this into a text widget in my sidebar rather than the html in the post code?
I’d love some help on this as would love to add this feature to my blog posts – but I wish WordPress.com could just be a simple widget or box we could tick to add this to all posts, seems a bit bonkers it has to be this complicated when Twitter is a key way to drive traffic and promote WordPress.com blogs.

You put it in the post, but are you putting it in via the Visual editor or the HTML editor? Whichever you’re using, try the other one. Sometimes this depends on the theme, although staff was supposed to have fixed this.

Thanks. This worked really well on mine.
@wilddogsandenglishmen place it at the bottom of the post, use the Visual Editor, not the HTML editor. You can skip the double-quote on the username too. Hope it works for you.

hi, i was stuck on the problem for such a long time! thanks to your solution, i can finally have that tweetmeme on my wordpress! Thanks alot!
-
oh, btw, does anyone know how to change it’s background color to black? or no color at all? thanks!
-
I’m sorry but the answer to that is “no”. We use the tweetmeme button they provide as is.

Very very helpful! wow! Now I need something similar for Facebook and Hyves.
Will check here for other posts. -
Some advice and a question.
Advice: For those struggling with the Tweetmeme button, here is the code that you want: [tweetmeme only_single=false http://www.URL.com%5D
Paste that code directly in your posts. I suggest putting it immediately after the last period in the first paragraph. It will appear on the right side parallel to the second paragraph and will not cause the first two paragraphs to merge without a space.
Advice: I prefer GetSocialLive as the best site (for now, at least) for share buttons. Paste the code into HTML where you want it – I always have it on the bottom – and then go back to Visual. There, you can centre the buttons if you like and even delete one or more of them. I do this as in my view there are only a few key ones to have and it looks cleaner.
Question: The Tweetmeme button is great. I have found several individual Facebook buttons with counters (similar to Tweetmeme) but they are all Javascript which we all (should) know is a No Go Proposition. Is anyone aware of a WordPress.com friendly Facebook share button with a counter?
Many thanks and hope the advice helps.
