A Twitter friend asked me today to point her in the right direction for adding a Twitter button to her blog. I figured the best way to respond was to simply post instructions on my blog. I also am fairly new to blogging and Twitter, but I was able to figure this out last week. The following instructions work for Blogger accounts (blogspot.com), and this is the only blog program that I am familiar with at this time.
1. Log in to your Blogger Account and Open the blog you wish to add a Twitter button to.
2. Click the Customize link at the top of the page.
3. You should now be on the "Add and Arrange Page Elements" page. Wherever on the page you want the button to appear, click one of the "Add a Gadget" buttons
4. Click the "HTML/Java Script" button
5. In a separate window, open and log in to your Twitter account.
6. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Click on the link called, "Goodies."
7. Click the "Buttons" option and then choose which style of button you would like. -Click it
8. A small window should pop-up with some HTML code already highlighted. Right Click on that and choose Copy to add this to your clipboard.
9. Go back to the HTML/Javascript window and simply paste this code into the "Content" box. You do not need to add a Title, but you may if you wish, depending on which Twitter button you choose.
10. Lastly, click "Save" and you should be all set!!
Good luck fellow blogging beginners. I hope this was helpful to you.
