This is how to guide for those bloggers who have a blog on Blogger.com (Blogspot) and want to add Twitter Retweet Button to their blog posts. If you have decent blog with quality content on it, want to encourage your blog readers to retweet your stories on Twitter, which will ultimately help you get lots of valuable traffic on your blog, then retweet button by TweetMeme is for you. Twitter is a platform which is being used by lots of bloggers to bring traffic to their blogs and you would also don’t want to loose this traffic building opportunity.
Retweeting facility is created by TweetMeme website where they simply gave us some Java Script code that we need to add to our blogger template where we want to show retweet button.
As I discussed in my post about how to add Twitter Retweet button to WordPress blog, we use two types of retweet button on blogs, one that’s regular version or digg type button and the second one is compact one.
To add ReTweet (RT) button to your blogger Blog: go to layout Option –> Edit HTML Option –> Expand Widget Template Option and do search for the following line of code:
<div class=’post-header-line-1′>
In order to add the big or Regular RT Button, add the following code below the line given above:
<script type=’text/javascript’>
tweetmeme_url='<data:post.url/>';
</script>
<script src=’http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js‘ type=’text/javascript’>
</script>
And if you want to show compact or small RT button add the following code in your blogger template:
<script type=’text/javascript’>
tweetmeme_url='<data:post.url/>';
tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;
</script>
<script src=’http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js‘ type=’text/javascript’>
</script>
And in order to replace @tweetmeme text in tweets that are made for your blog post, add your Twitter username in the following code shared below:
<script type=’text/javascript’>
tweetmeme_url='<data:post.url/>';
tweetmeme_source ='Your Username';
</script>
<script src=’http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js‘ type=’text/javascript’>
</script>
