Introducing Twit It Up!

Posted by Jon Bergan on the 7th January, 2009

Twit It Up!

I would like to introduce you all to Twit It Up - a new WordPress 2.7 plugin I have recently developed for the blogging community. We all know how much we love microblogging, right?!

What is Twit It Up?

Twit It Up is a simple AJAX powered WordPress plugin that allows your visitors to tweet/retweet your blog posts quickly and easily directly from your blog.

This is the first version of Twit It Up and obviously it still has some room for improvement, however I have tried to incorporate some initial customisable features into this initial release. I am also confident that any remaining bugs experienced during beta testing have been resolved. If you have any feedback, suggestions or issues, please contact me.

Feature List

Twit It Up offers the following features without any customisation to any code or script:

  • Full AJAX powered web-form to ensure your visitors never leave your actual post/webpage.
  • Provides your visitors with the ability to modify the tweet before submitting it to Twitter.
  • Automatically shortens your URL structure using http://is.gd/. Other URL shortening services will be added shortly.
  • Shortened URL’s are cached in the local database to reduce future load times.
  • Ability to show Twit It Up on all posts or just single posts.
  • Ability to completely customise wording on the web form and other design elements as well as modify the default tweet message.
  • Every design element can be styled with CSS

I hope you find this plugin useful!
