How to Add Retweet Button to Blogger Posts

Share

Retweeting or submitting your blog posts to the popular website TweetMeme brings more traffic to your blog. TweetMeme is a service which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter to determine which links are popular.

This post helps you to add a Retweet button to your Blogger blog to enable the readers retweet your articles.

1. Go to Blogger Layout page – Edit HTML – and click Expand Widget Templates.
   

   Search (Ctrl+F) for:

   <data:post.body/>

   and REPLACE the above line with the following code:

   <!– RETWEET BUTTON START –>
   <script type=”text/javascript”>
   tweetmeme_url = ‘<data:post.url/>’;
   tweetmeme_source = ‘YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME‘;
   tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;
   </script>
   <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script>
   <!– RETWEET BUTTON END –>
   <div style=’clear: both;’/>
   <data:post.body/>

   (Note: Don’t forget to replace YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME with your own twitter username!)
   

2. Finally, Save your template.
   

Enjoy Blogging and Retweeting!
