Twitter can be as almost effective as Followers and Rss feed at keeping people connected to your blog and updated when you publish new content.

When someone arrives on your blog you want to have the options for them to connect with you in prime positions.Your Rss feed link should be near the top of the page if you use followers this should have a prime position,similarly you should have a link to follow you on Twitter easily accessible.

The Follow on twitter badge we will be adding in this post is the one I'm currently using (I'm always changing this blog it may be different by the time you read this )

Here's a preview :



The image is fixed to the side of your blog and stays in position when the page is scrolled, when clicked it will open your Twitter Profile in a new window for the reader to follow you.

Lets add it to your blog

1.Click Layout-->Edit html for your blog
(Tick the 'Expand widget template' box.)

2.Find the following piece of code in the html:
(Click 'CTRL and F' for a search bar to find the code)

3.Add the following piece of code Directly Above it :

#float_corner {
position:fixed;_position:absolute;bottom:10px;left:3px;clip:
inherit;_top:expression(document.documentElement.scrollTop+document.documentElement.clientHeight-this.clientHeight);_left:expression(document.documentElement.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.clientWidth - offsetWidth);}

Note:

This will position the image just up from the bottom left corner of the page.
