There are several ways to do this from a simple follow me on Twitter to creating a facebook page feed to Twitter using the Social RSS application.

I prefer the simplest methods and this is one of the best ways that you can get to fit very nicely down the side of your weblog posts above your blog archive if you change the width and height on the HTML code you can get it to fit exactly I find that either 220-230 fits my blogger template just right.

There are many alternatives but this one gives you the ability to filter out your name and display the facebook page that the tweets are referring to and the account holder.

THIRD-PARTY TWITTER WEBSITES

If you just want to add a bird button to your site then I recommend using

If you want to get Twitter users to ReTweet your weblog to Twitter then use the tweetmeme button

TWITTER on your FACEBOOK PAGE

If you want to create a facebook page for your weblog OR website you can use the facebook Social-RSS application. Use the Quick select to select the page OR profile that you want to connect to Twitter

You then need to enter the RSS feed number for you facebook page my Windows Tips Club number is below put yours in the Compulsory Feeds

For this application to work, you must allow javascript for both www.facebook.com and www.socialrevitalizer.com. If you haven't manually switched off javascript in your browser then you can ignore this message

If you are not sure if this is case and you are using firefox use the Quickjava XPI to make sure that it is enabled check out the download links for this and many more useful firefox add-ons use my FixYa tip HERE
