A little code snippet that will allow you to send the current page to Twitter from within Wordpress - best used in the meta of single.php.

This will open a Twitter page with the post field pre-filled with your page link. Try it here: Send to Twitter

If you want to use it as a method for people to contact you, put @YOURUSERNAME  directly before the ‘check this out’ string, like so:

Like so - Send me a message on Twitter

I’ve been tweaking the meta section of my single.php pages on BabyGotMac constantly to try to keep them current and useful for visitors, and adding ‘twitter this’ seemed like a logical jump.

Don’t Give Me What I Asked For, Give Me What I Want

When I ask a question, I’m looking for an answer in one of three ways:

1. Specifics. Just answer the question directly and cleanly. I am the king of finding specifics. Average rainfall in Honokaa, HI? Yeah, that took three seconds to find.
2. Like or Related. Rather than answer the specific question, how about a related answer? I’m in a Sigur Ros mood — what should I listen to? Ratatat. Google can help with related answers, but useful discovery rates begin to drop here because relation is subjective.
