Casey STUBBS has suggested that I add the Re-Tweet function as an option into the Comments section of the blog posts. It is a very wise and "on the mark" recommendation and I thank him for this.

So now we have a method for doing this also. The process is following on from the previous post and simply adding a couple of lines of script into the Settings section of the DISQUS enabled section.

The reference for the script is here: Tweetmeme Help.


There are a number of options which you can choose from depending on your needs. Please look at these to help you work out the optimal for your site.
The code I have chosen is:
<script type="text/javascript"> 
tweetmeme_url = 'http://yoururl.com'; 
</script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

So to install in the Disqus enabled generic platform blogs, select "Blog Manager" from the Edit/Manage options in the builder.
Click on the Settings tab.
Copy the scripts from the Tweetmeme Help page as referenced.
Paste it into the next available line
Select "Done"
Save
Update.

You have now installed the retweet function.

This allows a reader to submit the post as a tweet or in fact a retweet. This has the power of spreading your post into new realms and effecting the much talked about viral nature of Twitter. It all is about increasing readership and noticeability.

Good luck with this Blog Enhancement.
