Twitter Tip: Add a 'Tweet This' Link to your Blog on WordPress or ...

Twitter can be a great source of traffic for your blog. Here are instructions on how to add the Tweet This button to your WordPress theme or Blogger template.

Many bloggers have experimented with autoposting, Wp Robot is one of the best autoblogging solutions available....easy to use and keeps your blogs fresh!

Twitter can be a great source of traffic for your blog. To give you an example, my article on bookmarklets was on the delicious popular section for more than a day yet Twitter sent in more visitors than delicious thanks to all the tweets.

Now if you want to make it easy for your site visitors to share links of your blog articles on Twitter, follow the instructions below - you don't need any plug-ins and the post URLs are automatically shortened in the tweet via bit.ly (a good alternative to tinyurl that also provides live traffic statistics).

Step 1: Open the header.php file of WordPress and insert the following lines just before the closing </HEAD> tag.

Step 2: Open the single.php file and insert the following line just below the_content() function.

There's a similar service called TwitThis which is again easy to setup but it requires the Twitter password so some of your readers may not feel very comfortable doing that.

Go to your Blog Layout -> Edit HTML and click the box that says "Expand widget templates".
