twitter buttons

I kept asking where everyone got their twitter "follow me" buttons but it seemed no one knew- or was telling. SO I have over 3000 followers, I figure if I send it out as a question, surely one of them would share the secret, really didn't even think of it as a secret at the time of posing question, till I got no response. Wait I take that back I got many no clue, and at least 3 or 4 "hey when you find out, please let me know". I was kinda taken back, I would guesstimate that at least 50% of people on twitter have a blog or a site, and who knows what percentage of those have "elusive button", but I know many, because I read several. Really makes me giggle, so I am off to find the "Blue Follow Me Bird" and some other ones too, then I am gonna let the secret out of the BAG!!!

To get a Twitter feed on just about any page, if offers code for basic one, such as Blogger, My Space, Facebook, then another option that will provide a code for most other pages, as long as you can enter in HTML code in a text are or some place like that.

Log in to you twitter account, you have to go through regular site, not an application such as Tweetdeck, sign in just like you would to use twitter (with user name and password)

Go to upper right corner and click on "Settings"

Under the first tab. "account", go down to the spot where it lets you add "More info URL", and under says "Have a homepage or blog? Put the address here.".......directly under that is a link, it is little and may not appear like a link, but it is

Click on link that says "(You can also add Twitter to your site here)"

That link will take you to a bunch of choices, you can pick a mini feed, or a bigger on with avatars. You can customize the colors to match you profile r blog you are putting it on. Once you are done you get code and copy/paste it where you want it.

This takes all the confusion away. You simply enter you twitter ID and it updates the code as you go...that simple. Then you copy and paste it into a widget or gadget depending on that blog/site you are using. They have many many choices....including some that I saw in other links I have on this lens. Here This is the way to go!

Randa Clay has a great collection of buttons Here This site has some really cute, non typical Twitter like ones, yet not too far out

Siah Designs has a huge selection of super cute (and different) ones Here
Actually this selection is so good this is a site to bookmark and change out if you are the type that likes to redesign or has multiple sites. This site also has vertical ones as well. A good option if the space you are putting it in is oddly shaped. It has a few different colored ones too.

Looking for a colorful button to match your website or blog well this is the site for you ~ Limeshot, which is an awesome site I just discover and will be using in the future ,
this is the "Follow Me on Twitter badges/logo/buttons" page Here
They have a lot of different colored ones and even patterns (the one used at the top of this lens is from there).

.....don't forget, technically you can make Follow Me button/badge yourself, just use a program like Paint or Photobucket (my personal favorite) and make one that says "Follow Me" or whatever then enter that picture into the code that links to your twitter homepage.
