You made it easy to understand. I pray all is well with you. I heard that the Blue Ridge conference was great.

No problem. I clicked on it and pasted in the Click-to-Tweet URL. Also there was NO "test" box, so I just crossed my fingers and hit the "apply" arrow. Next I clicked on UPDATE and waited till it did. The "tweetable" was blue and underlined as you showed. After I closed the compose-window and clicked on my blog article... Voila! There was the link. When I clicked on it, the Tweet appeared on Twitter. Fantastic! <br /><br />Thank you so much. Now I need to type out the instructions (that I hurriedly wrote as the screencast was going on) so that I can read them and store them in a safe place. I know eventually it will be come easy as clockwork, but for a dozen or so times I will need the instructions.<br /><br />I know you took a second to show where the Permalink was on Wordpress (helpful), but if you ever do it again, maybe show and tell the difference between the Edit Link on Blogger and the "chain" icon on Wordpress, with no test box. But, I figured it out, so I guess it's fine.

WONDERFUL, Edie. This was so helpful. Watching you do it as you explained it, helped. But I confess, I took step-by-step notes as I watched. :) I've been wanting to learn this since last fall. <br /><br />If it's not too late to ask this, I'm curious . . . how do people put squares around their click to tweets in their blog posts?

I am re-launching this Wednesday with a brand new look, new ways to communicate and hopefully, new followers. I am just starting on the course, and then there is your book...I have so much to learn.

BUT I have www.EdieMelson.com forwarded to it. If someone type in EdieMelson.com, they come here. When they come here though, they still see TheWriteConversation.blogspot.com. That's forwarding. If I had it masked, even though they were on theWriteConversation.com, the URL would read EdieMelson.com. <br /><br />I didn't choose to do that because it's not possible to point to a specific post. That's why I just have mine forwarded. <br /><br />ANYWAY, that can cause what you're talking about happening in Click to Tweet.

I'm also a mom-on-the-go so I greatly appreciated the brevity of it as well. I took notes and I'm sure I'll need to refer to the video once more before I get it all down pat (which is another benefit of the screencast). I'm excited about learning how to do this. I'll give it a whirl this weekend.

Second, your post has to be live for it to work. So if that page isn't published, it will give you an error message. Let me know how it goes when you try it again. I'm happy to help you troubleshoot any issues.

I always wondered about the chicken and the egg - you need the post's permanent link before you can create the click-to-tweet, but want the click-to-tweet in the blog before posting. The magic information was permalink which I clearly didn't understand! Thank you Edie. Get ready to see ClicktoTweets in my posts from now on. I took many notes for myself, but agree that the screencast was the way to go on this one.Seeds of Scripturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922204252963713555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-60810203870623632262016-03-02T10:53:24.132-05:002016-03-02T10:53:24.132-05:00OH MY!!
