adding a twitter share button to my site


I am thinking of adding a twitter share button to my site, I got the code from here, but the problem is that button appears with an image of a bird and the text "tweet", is there a way to have my own button, just want to have a div size 16*16px with img of a bird that does the same thing as the twitter button. for example see how this site does it.


Solution

  • As easy as this:

    <a href="http://twitter.com/share">Add your 16x16px image here</a>
    
    
    <a href="https://twitter.com/share?hashtags=awesome,sharing&text=My Page Title or Something Else to share&via=MyTwitterHandle"><img src="/my_custom_twitter_image.png" title="Share this page on Twitter" /></a>
    

    This will tweet the "text" part using the "tags" listed attribute the tweet to MyTwitterHandle and show my_custom_twitter_image and the link image.
