  Hi Guys.

  I want to place a Twitter Button on my blog current and future ones. i know we have to copy the code from twitter and paste it in the HTML section while creating apost but is there a way i can have it automatically added when on my page without me manually entering it in the html section of every post ??

  the code is <img src=”http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/follow_me-c.png” alt=”Follow JeniMincy on Twitter”/>

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

  When posting code in the forums, please place it between backticks, those little ticks that are usually on the same key as the ~.

  If you want to put a Post to Twitter button on each post, just put it in your Share options on the dashboard. If you want to put a Follow Me On Twitter button in every single post, I think you will have to put that in as a custom Share option. Check out the dashboard under Sharing to see how that works.Just make the link go to your profile.

  Dashboard->Settings->Sharing

  You have to use the Add A New Service option to do this.

  ok hey rain coaster i did do this but if you goto [http://tequilafm.wordpress.com/] my blog you will see the button is placed but a text is there as well in red and the button image isn’t in full.

  Would you be able to assist me in rectifying this?

  i want it to be show like [http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/follow_me-c.png]

  Hi tequilafm

  Not sure, but, I think, you can solve it by removing the service name “Follow me On Twitter”

  Thanks

  The button works perfectly, but you need a MUCH SMALLER image. Something like 10×10 pixels. You can keep the words “follow me on Twitter” though.
