Official Tweet Button Released by Twitter

Twitter has now released a new Tweet button for there service. This function was previously offered by TweetMeme's Retweet button. Similar to Facebook's Like button, the new Tweet button from Twitter allows a visitor to send a Twitter message from your site.


Twitter offers a page to help you construct your Tweet Button:

http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton

On this page, you have the option of how your button will appear:


The text that people will include from this Tweet can be customized

The URL that you want linked to this Tweet
The default language



You can also recommend up to 2 people to follow for this Tweet button to recommend to the visitor
When you have completed the customization, it's easy to insert the code into your site because Twitter will generate it for you.  Cutting and pasting the code into your site will complete the process and then you are up and running.

That's it.  It's a very similar process to the Facebook Like button.

How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run  Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run. The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome. ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is: Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run  box.  Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) It'll look something like this: Click Run .  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.
