How To Add Twitter Button To Your Website Or Blog

Twitter is one of the major social platforms and can be used as a part of Internet marketing strategy. It is a great way to keep in touch with customers, friends and industry professionals, while updating them on your news in 140 characters or less. If you have a
web marketing plan that includes social
media, it is important to integrate it with your
website, email blasts and printed materials,
so that people can find you and stay in touch
easily. Twitter's short format makes it an
ideal piece of your website format. You can
place a small box, also known as a "badge" ,
"widget" or "button" on your home page,
which will post your latest tweets.
HOW TO ADD TWITTER BUTTON TO YOUR
WEBSITE OR BLOG
Open 2 Internet browser tabs on your
computer.
In the first tab, login to your
website's admin area. If you do not know
HTML code, or you do not have access to
the website's admin area, seek the help of
your website's web developer.
Go to Twitter.com in the second tab.Sign
into the Twitter account that you want to
post to your website. Creating a badge for
a business or personal Twitter account
involves the same process.
Find the "Twitter" box, which lists
"About," "Apps," and other words
associated to the Twitter company.
Click
on the word "Resources." You should arrive
at a page that says "Buttons, widgets, logos,
and more."
Decide if you want to use a button,
widget or logo.
What used to be called a
Twitter badge is now called a Twitter
widget. If you want to place a "follow"
button your website, you should choose the
button option, rather than the widget
option.
Click on the link that says, "See all
Widgets.
" On the next page, click on the
"My Website" tab. This section will allow
you to choose which Twitter badge you
would like to put on your website.
Read through the options, which include
"Profile," "List," "Faves," and "Search.
"
Most websites show a Profile Twitter badge,
because this only shows what you tweet or
retweet. It does not show the Tweets from
the people you follow.
Click on the Profile widget, or another
type of widget.
This will take you to a
page where you can customize it according
to the appearance of your website. Go
through the tabs on the left hand side to
choose the color, the size and the number
of Tweets.
Look on the right hand side of your screen as
you adjust your widgets settings. It should
reflect your Twitter badge's appearance,
giving you a preview of what you will see on
your website. Keep in mind that if you do not
like your Twitter widget once it's on your site,
you will have to return to this page to create
a whole new widget.
Click the "Test Settings" button to get a
final view of what your badge will look
like.
Then, click the "Finish & Grab Code"
button. You should arrive at a page with a
box full of HTML code.
Copy all of the code in the box. Return to
your first tab. Find the right section of your
website, usually the home page, and paste
your Twitter widget HTML code into the
proper place.
Twitter also gives Blogger users the option to
add the code automatically to a Blogger
website. Click on the "Add to Blogger" button
below the HTML code box to do this.
Save your website. View your website to
ensure that the Twitter badge was
appropriately placed on your website.
If you use WordPress, Blogger or another
large blog/website provider, check to make
sure that you do not already have a Twitter
widget option as part of your theme. For
example, in the Appearance section of the
WordPress dashboard, there is a widget page
where you can click and drag the Twitter
widget onto your website. You can type in
your username, choose how many tweets
you would like to show, and the Twitter
badge already matches your theme.
Beware that putting a Twitter badge on your
website that shows inappropriate, political or
religious tweets may reflect poorly on your
website or brand. Make sure to moderate
what appears on your Twitter profile once
you have placed a Twitter widget on a
website.
