WordPress: Add a ‘Twitter this’ link
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.
Let me know if you have any further related tweaks or questions.
