Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by Alex Denning in Quick Tips
Just released today, ReTweet.com is a service that has been set up to rival the popular Tweetmeme. In this post we’ll very quickly learn how to add the ReTweet.com button to any WordPress theme.
As you can see above, it’s almost Digg like in appearance and thankfully it’s really easy to add to your blog too. All you’ve got to do is paste the following code in your single.php file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.retweet.com/static/retweets.js" ></script>

But with Twitter automatically shortening URLs, it isn’t too much of a problem.

Hey guys wanted to update you on the Retweet.com button;
- We have added tracking to the Retweet.
- We have added our RT.nu URL shortener.
- The button also goes grey after you’ve clicked it.
More updates always coming, thanks for the coverage!
