HTML Code For A Custom Tweet This Button for Blogger
2009 March 1
Okay, for a while now I’ve been trying out various methods to add a TWEET THIS button to my Blogger Post Template. You know? The little Twitter Bird at the end of posts allowing readers to directly tweet out a post!
Well, now I’ve got it. Just in case you want one…??
First locate a Twitter Birdie icon, or create something in Photoshop or Elements quick!
In blogger go to settings/formatting scroll down to post template and place this code in the box. .
The parts in ALL CAPS are the custom parts you will replace.
- The words you want to show in the tweet.(Mine says “Tweeting about this GoodNCrazy post!”)
- The tinyurl of your blog’s home page.(If you want a tiny url of your actual post you can manually change each time for just that post if you want.)
- The photobucket image of a bird. (If you don’t know how to use photobucket or need a free twitter image, contact me!)
- Your blog title.
Test my example here:

Great for standard twitter, but i can't seem to make it work for m.twitter.com
Probably twitter's fault. :/
