TwitThis is a very cool service that lets you place a button on your site so anyone who has a Twitter account can tweet a link to your web page. I recently read an excellent post on the blog Cranial Soup about modifying a Blogger template to use the Twit This button
I quickly implemented the code in this blog. However, I made a couple of Marketing Consultants adjustments that work better for me. The original blog said to paste the following code into your blog footer:
‘TwitThis’
Currently, I have the code implemented without the following lines:
and
The difference is that the code will now display the button on your main blog page, and not just on pages for specific posts. Now, clicking the button on the main page will just submit your main blog title and link to Twitter, rather than a specific page title and URL. But I’m not sure how many people who read this blog click to a specific page, so I want to make sure that they have the option to submit the page to Twitter even if it is just the front page.
Another option that I am considering (but have not done yet) is to place the code at the TOP of the blog post, rather than in the footer. This would make the button more prominent. When I get around to doing that, I will post it here.
