Add Twitter to your WordPress themes for more star power
Twitter is one of the hottest things on the web right now, and although this microblogging service could overtake (macro) blogging with WordPress, why not take advantage of its popularity and use it to add even more star power to your WordPress themes? Here are several guides that make WordPress blogging and tweeting a seamless experience:
- TweetBacks for WordPress:
List all the tweets that are linking back to your blog. TweetBacks are now the new trackbacks! - Twittar – Twitter Avatars:
Display Twitter avatars in your comments section. I know you love Gravatars but if your users haven’t signed up for one, it helps to provide alternatives. - How to Create Your Own Twitter Widget:
Let your visitors share your blog posts on Twitter with a sidebar widget. - Tweet This, a WordPress Plugin for Twitter:
If you don’t want a sidebar widget, how about a WordPress plugin that lets users tweet your blog posts instantly? - How to: Create a “send this to twitter” button:
Now if you don’t want to install a plugin at all, try this single line of code you can add to your WordPress theme files! - How to Create an RSS-Enabled, Micro-Blog with Twitter:
Twitter has probably taken over most aside / side blogs since it’s so much more convenient. If it hasn’t on your blog, and you’ve been wondering how to do it, try this (all you need is your Twitter’s RSS feed). - Juitter:
A jQuery javascript plugin that displays tweets based on a keyword search. Perfect for blogging about the now.
