Update: WordPress Plugin Tweet This

Filed under: WordPress

I recently added Tweet This to my site, a plugin for WordPress that enables your visitors to easily post a link to your article in their Twitter stream. The key point here, easier is better. One-click goodness will surely get your articles into the Twitterverse.

The plugin was updated yesterday with many more admin features along with options for Digg This, Plunk This and Ping This links. You can see all four at the bottom of this article.

A very welcome addition is customization of how the text is sent to Twitter. The default is ‘[URL] [TITLE]‘ but I followed John Chow’s lead and modified mine to ‘Reading @mesmerlab [TITLE] [URL]‘. I had to modify the plugin code itself when I first installed it.

Thanks go out to Richard X. Thripp for this great upgrade!
