Last time we taught you about how to add @Anywhere in our 3 Essential Twitter tech tips post and today Ithought of sharing – how to add Tweet box on your WordPress blogs. As like the previous one, even this tutorial is gonna be simple and I am will be guiding you by step by step to implement the twit box on your blog.
Step 1: In order to add the tweet box, you need to create a Twitter @Anywhere application. So go to this page and create a new application by filling in the form.
While filling up the form enable read & write access as the default access type. Since the Tweet box needs the read and write access, you need to enable it.
Step 2: After completing the application, you get a script containing your unique API key which will look like this
Now copy the code that is generated for you and go to header.php from Appearance and paste it within <head></head> and save it.
Step 3: This is the final part. Go to single.php and search for this <?php the_content(); ?>. Now add the script that you find below right after <?php the_content(); ?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
twttr.anywhere(function (T) {
T(“#tbox”).tweetBox({
height: 100,
width: 400,
defaultContent: “<YOUR DEFAULT TWEETBOX CONTENT HERE>”
});
});
</script>
Replace with your mentions (@bloggermint) or any hash tags (#blogger). If you want to change the default title of the Tweet box from Whats happening to some other, add this line that you find below on the top of default content
