How to add TweetThis or ReTweet in a blog

The common tweethis and retweet buttons  that you see in some websites or blogs help publishers to encourage their reader and visitors to spread the news via twitter, and the button can easily be added to blogger/blogspot. Here is how you do it:

Login to your blogger account.
In the dashboad, select Layout and Edit HTML,
Search for this code line in your template (easiest way to find it is through CTRL+F)
<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
immediately after it pase this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

This will generate a button that looks like this:

If you want the small or compact button, then use this code instead:

<script type="text/javascript">
tweetmeme_style = 'compact';
tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

And it will look like this:

If you would like the button to be placed underneath each post, then in your blog template, find this code:
<data:post.body/>
and paste the code of your choice beneath it.
