Personally, I think the Tweet This plugin while ingenious, is a bit annoying as it limits you where you want to put it. Instead of going through the plugin jargon code, you can put your own code. Really, all you are doing is telling Twitter your update with the link of the post. This is in case you prefer to have your own bookmark links, rather than a plugin do it for you..

Step 1. Go to your single.php and place the_permalink php code for WordPress where you wish it to be seen.


<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently reading <?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Tweet This!" target="_blank">Tweet This</a>

You can also dress this up and put an image


<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently reading <?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Tweet This!" target="_blank"><img src="YOURIMAGEURLHERE" alt="Tweet This!" /></a>
