   If you look at this blog post on hockeybuzz.com, at the bottom of it, appears to be a button that you click to follow the writer on twitter where readers don't even have to leave the page or go to twitter.com. I'm wondering how I can get something like this for each of my blog posts. Also a similar subscribe type of button to have at the bottom of each blog post in addition to having it on the sidebar would be great.

   Is any of this possible? Thanks

   The blog I need help with is sharkcircle.wordpress.com.

   Under Settings->Sharing is the ability to add the Twitter button.

   And it automatically goes at the end of each post? is there a way to customize where it shows up on the page?

   Also what about a subscribe box at the bottom of the post?

   All I'm seeing under Settings->Sharing are share buttons. Like share it on twitter, maybe that's an automatic retweet or something. I want an actual "Follow Shark Circle on twitter" button where they can follow you just by clicking it without having to share the article with anyone or go to the twitter website, just like that blogger has at the bottom of his page on the link I posted.

   Then you want the Twitter widget instead. If you want to put a "follow me on Twitter" button in each post, you'll have to hand-code it yourself and paste it in every post. And the Subscribe button only exists as a widget, not something you can put in a post.
