Adding Tweetmeme and FaceBook Like to Posterous

Andreas Kopp asked on my ServerTastic Blog how I had integrated the Twetmeme and FaceBook Like buttons into my Posterous theme. (Just like this theme).

It is actually pretty easy. You need to edit the theme in Posterous choosing the advanced option. Then look for the {Body} tag within the code. Just above this insert the code below. Change the twitterusername to your actual twitter username.

<div style="float:left;padding:4px;">
<br />
<fb:like href="{Permalink}" layout="button_count"></fb:like>
</div>

Just enabled Facebook Connect on all my blogs

Some of you may be aware that I use Posterous for all my blogs. It is an awesome system and I really recommend you give it a try. 

Recently they enabled Facebook Connect for blog comments. Being a bit of a geek I thought sonds like something I should set-up. The instructions were easy to follow and users on all my blogs now have the ability to comment using their Facebook ID.

If you are asking yourself "why?" then think of it as another way to promote your blog. The user finds it easy to make a comment and they promote their Facebook profile on your site. You also get the benefit of the users profile then linking back to your blog and driving potential traffic to you.
