Thanks to some pointers from Matt at Webmaster Source I now have Twitter @Anywhere functionality on Binary Moon.
If you post a comment you can include your Twitter username in the comment, and it will then be added to your comment. I suspect I will change how this is laid out/ designed in the future but it all works perfectly as it is. The functionality is actually built into my WordPress theme, Elemental, and will be in the next release of the theme.
I plan to tidy the code up a bit, and add a couple more features, and then I will be writing a tutorial explaining how I did it all, so look out for that on Thursday. Oh – and check out the comments below to see how it works.
Here’s a comment so you can see how it looks. It’s actually set up so that each registered user can specify a Twitter username in their profile, which means all old comments made by me will also have my Twitter username added retrospectively.
Checking out the Added Twitters @Anywhere to this post. Looks Good!
Seems like a great feature that can also encourage comments. Thanks for sharing
I hope it helps encourage comments π Planning to publish the “how to” on Thursday so stay tuned if you’re interested.
then I’ll be waiting the “how to” on Thursday
