Marketing Tip: Adding a Retweet Button to your Blog
1. Determine where you would like the retweet button to appear in your posts (My button is normal right):
normal right, normal left
compact right, compact left

2. Now to get the code for which position you would like. HINT: I would open Word, notepad, somewhere to paste the code to. Once you decide which position you want, copy the code for that placement and paste it into Notepad, Word, wherever you chose to paste it.
Normal Left
<div style="float:left;padding:4px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; tweetmeme_source = 'your_twitter_user_name'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script> </div>
Normal Right
<div style="float:right;padding:4px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; tweetmeme_source = 'your_twitter_user_name'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script> </div> Compact Left
<div style="float:left;padding:4px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_style = 'compact'; tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; tweetmeme_source = 'your_twitter_user_name'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script> </div> Compact Right
<div style="float:right;padding:4px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_style = 'compact'; tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; tweetmeme_source = 'your_twitter_user_name'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script> </div>
3. See this in the code that you just pasted?
'your_twitter_user_name'
Change that to your Twitter username.
4. Open up your blogger, and go to the Design Mode.
In the upper left corner you will see Page elements,
Edit HTML, Template Designer Click on Edit HTML.
You will see this screen:
See the Expand Widget Templates in the upper right corner of that box? Check that.
5. Within that box, find this code:
<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
I suggest using the Find (control F) and paste that code in that search box. Or you can scroll through the code. *** Please note, depending on how your blog was set up... templates, etc, if you cannot find this code, try this code: <data:post.body/> and move to step 6***.6. Once you find that code, go to the Word, Notepad, etc document where you pasted that placement code. Copy it and paste that after the code
<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
7. Save template. If you preview, it will give you false tweet numbers, fyi. Go to your blog and you should see it in the place you wanted.
8. You're done! Retweet a blog post! Hope this is helpful.
Great place to find Blog topics hints and tips.

A Deal That Can't Be Beat! Artfire @ $5.95/mo for LIFE!
![]() |
http://www.artfire.com/groupdeal |
If you currently have a Basic or Pro account with Artfire you already know about this promotion. For those who do not know about it, this is inside information. Only those with an Artfire Shop know about this.
In order to get this $5.95/month rate (Which is a Pro Account), Artfire needs 20,000 people to get in on the Group Rate. Don't have a basic account? That's okay...you just need to sign up for a basic account (free) to get early access. A quick run through the highlights:
To Get In On This Deal, sign up for a basic account and then be sure to go back and click on the "To Get In On This Deal" to be included in the group rate. Deadline is Monday, 9-20. Signing up is important...
***If Artfire does not get to the 20,000, no one will get the rate*** You will NOT be charged anything.
Whether you sell $1,000 or $100,000 this year, you will still pay only $5.95/month.
There are no hidden fees.
There is no contract.
There are no games.
The $5.95 comes out to short of 20 cents a day! Post as many items as you want everyday.
