The team at WordPress.com have been working hard with the guys at Twitter to unveil the new Follow Button to the online world for the first time.

The new Follow Button is designed for your readers to easily follow you on twitter without ever leaving your WordPress website. This is a huge benefit for businesses that previously had to redirect users back to their respective Twitter accounts and risked losing customers once they had left the company web page. The new Follow Button will act similarly to the Facebook “Like” button. You can incorporate the new Follow Button into your site by:

  • Adding the new Follow Button to posts, pages or text widgets. You can customize the colours, show a count of your followers and display a link to your Twitter page.
  • Using Twitter’s Blackbird Pie tool to embed fully functioning web Tweets on your posts and pages.
  • Displaying the Follow button on your site’s side bar using the Twitter Widget.

The new Follow Button should help increase your site’s reach and exposure. If you would like to know more about incorporating this feature in to your website or would like to know more about the social media services that Areatrade provide, contact us here.
