How to add Tweet Button from Twitter

Would you like to add the authentic, official Tweet Button from Twitter.com to your blog or website? It is the best choice if you want to avoid plugins that can increase your pages load time (increased page load time is not good for SEO) and eat up your server’s valuable storage space? If yes, this button is for you.

The benefits: It allows your visitors to share your content on Twitter without leaving your site or blog and helps you promote your Twitter account at the same time.

There are three buttons to choose from and you have the options to customize them if you wish. Given below are the simple steps to add Tweet Button to your website/ blog:

1. Choose your button that suits your taste from the three buttons showing vertical count, horizontal count or the only the button showing no count, and customize it (if you like) with your Tweet text that people will include in their tweets automatically.

2. You can optionally recommend up to two Twitter accounts for your users to follow after they share content from your website, including your own or your friends or associates.

3. Once you have done the above steps, you can just copy and paste the self-generated code into your site or blog! Done!

Here below is a simple Tweet Button with no count. Try it.

Hello world!

Welcome to Tech-Sharing Blog! This is my first post after setting up my own self-hosted blog, if it can be called so. In the strict sense, a self-hosted blog is one that is hosted on one’s own server, apart from having its own domain name. But this is a blog hosted using hired shared hosting services.

Also, this cannot be said to be my first attempt to blog on WordPress platform, because about two years back, I opened a free account for a free blog with WordPresss.com but left it as it is, and spent my time on many other FREE blogging services, both learning about blogging and many other aspects associated with it. Mostly I used the services of Blogger, the easiest FREE blogging service, provided by Google, where I have some blogs already running. Though I thought of migrating to my own WordPress blog with my work already in my Blogger blogs, after thinking over some other future prospects, I left them to run there for some more time, or forever, I do not know right now.

This blog is setup with a one-click setup process from the control panel of my hosting service provider. After I decided to setup my own WordPress blog, I searched around to understand the best way to set this up, but the more I read about professional blog setup services, I got into more confusion with some of them describing it as a tough job that takes a lot of time and effort. I was inclined to hire professional help, as I am short of time. So, I contacted some professional services too. But, I am yet to receive even a quote, maybe, because those pros could be overburdened with work. So, I got impatient and took a plunge, buying a domain and hosting facility, followed by this one-click WordPress installation. I hope to customize this blog soon, or, maybe I may hire someone for the job.

So, welcome back, and see the changes, and if you too are a beginner, or an experienced blogger trying WordPress for the first time, my experiments with this wonderful blogging software may help you.

I also look forward to receiving guidance and suggestions from experienced WP professionals. Also, I want to exchange many things with fellow bloggers including marketing and business ideas, apart from technology.
