  Hi,
  I cannot get a twitter follow button on my homepage. As suggested in your on-line documentation I copy and past [twitter-follow screen_name='mxghetta' show_count='yes'] in a text widget and all I get is having the relevant text placed at the bottom of my home page. No twitter button, link or whatever.
  I am missing something, right…?
  Help!
  Thanks.
  Max

  The Twitter follow button is currently only available on WordPress.com using that shortcode. However, with your self-hosted WordPress.org site you could add the necessary code for the button directly to your theme. Twitter has details here.

  I always forget the difference between .com and .org…
  I have fixed the problem.
  Thanks a lot!
