If your website is created using Joomla! or WordPress, you can easily add it to a module (in Joomla! make sure you turn off the editor first) or a widget (WordPress).  If your website is created using HTML, then just add the script to your HTML.  If you don’t know how to update your HTML, just call Wanna Web Design and it can be added quickly and easily for you.

How it benefits your website:

Surfers love to share great content from across the web via Twitter. This button encourages them to share your website and to follow your Twitter account in the process. You’ll increase traffic to your site and develop a larger Twitter audience.

Instructions for adding a Share Button:

Go to https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons

Select the button you would like on your website, for this tutorial we will select ‘Share a link’.

Share URL: You can type the domain address you want to share, or simply select “Use the page URL”, that way if you use this code on every page, the page will automatically be populated.

Tweet Text: Use the title of the page, or enter a title.

Show Count: Your choice whether you want to display how many people have shared your page, check the box if you want to display the count.

Via: type in your twitter name, shown is Wannawebdesign

Recommend & Hashtag: you can enter this or leave it blank

Large Button: will display a larger button on your site

Language: select your language.

Now the code will be ready in the code box on the right….. however you do not actually see all of the script… for some reason this box is too small.  So what you have to do is put your cursor in the box on the line of code and RIGHT CLICK, then select ‘SELECT ALL’ then RIGHT CLICK again and click COPY.  This will select the javascript code that you don’t actually see.  This is required to run properly.

* Note * Make sure you turn the editor off in Joomla! before you paste the script or the script will not run properly when you save it.

This is the one reason why you should always own your own domain name and hosting.  You are in control and will always have access to your website, email, domain etc.

There will never be a reason for the hosting and domain to disappear (web developer retires), or for the rates to suddenly skyrocket!  You will always be in control!

So when deciding where to purchase your domain make sure you find a reputable company, one that offers 24/7 phone service and one that guarantees over 95% up time on the server.

A good choice? Wanna Web Design Hosting…… click here to find out more on pricing and domains from Wanna Web Design…..

Go back to settings, these are automatically saved.

Voila!  You go back to the calendar and all the annoying events that you don’t plan on attending are gone!
