Using the Tweet Button Widget
The Tweet Button widget lets you place a "Tweet" button on a page, with or without a counter of other tweet messages
about the page, and with optional text for the tweet message to post in the user's Twitter feed.
You provide the URL of the page that Twitter users share when they tap or click the Tweet button, and the usernames for
two Twitter accounts that users can tap or click to follow.
To place the widget on a page and create an element from it, drag the widget from the Widgets pane to the Canvas, as
shown in Figure 14-4 on page 352. You can then resize, align, and arrange the element to fit your page design (for
details, see "Working in the Project Editor" on page 154).

To change the Tweet Button element's properties, click the element on the page or select it in the Page Outline pane. The
Properties pane for the Tweet Button element appears on the right side of the Project Editor. You can then set the
properties in the General tab of the Properties pane:
1. Enter the URL of the page in the URL to Share field, which is underneath the ID field.
2. Choose one of the following display types from the Display Type drop-down menu underneath the URL to Share
field:
• Horizontal Count: Displays the Tweet button and counter in a horizontal layout (refer to Figure 14-4 on
page 352).
• Vertical Count: Displays the Tweet button and counter in a vertical layout.
• No Count: Displays the Tweet button without a counter.
