Tweet button

[KYnyts]

This isn't really a suggestion for the forums, but for your blog. Many times I've wanted to tweet to something from your blog instead of from the original article, but I haven't figured out a way to do that directly. I don't know what service you use, but I know there is a Twitter module that allows you to put a button/link. I try to retweet you on Twitter, but my timeline goes by so fast I miss half of what people post there.

Thanks for the consideration!

We use Wordpress. I know everytime John posts it sends out a Tweet. You could follow him on Twitter, and then ReTweet?

I do follow BJF on Twitter and I do try to retweet when I see them come through, but like I said above, my timeline goes by really quickly and I like to read what I'm RT'ing before RT'ing. Also, I tend to catch up on the blog once or twice a day instead of per tweet.

You know, WP does have a plug-in for that If you guys ever decided you wanted to add it and all, yanno. But if you don't, that's okay, too. Just a thought (of which I have far too many.)

I will look into it. Happen to know the name of the plugin?

The problem is, at least in my opinion, we already run too many plugins on the blog, which causes it to consume a lot of CPU cycles on the server. Our saving grace to the amount of plugins, is that we link 95% of the content (i.e. youtube videos, images, etc...) The downside to that, is the page takes 6-8 seconds to render.

Constant balancing act.

It may be a part of what you are already using. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simp...r-connect/

We were using other plugins.. I added that, but don't see it showing up?

After messing with it. I seemed to have it working. I don't have Twitter, so I can't confirm it is 100% working. Can you test it out, and let me know.

Works like a charm! Thanks so much! This will make it much easier.

Sure thing.
