What is the Follow btn?
The Follow btn, shown above, allows users to follow your account directly from your personal homepage or any website where the btn is installed. When users click this btn, the following occurs:
- For logged in users, a small pop-up screen displays with more information about your account when they click the btn.
- User who aren’t logged in to Twitter will see a similar pop-up screen that allows them to view your account’s following/follower information, sign in, and then follow you.
Note: If you’re looking for our basic btns, you can still find them here!
How to add the Follow btn to your site:
- Log in to your Twitter account.
- Go to https://twitter.com/about/resources/btns#follow
- Customize the Follow btn to your liking with the available options.
- Copy and paste the code into the HTML of your website wherever you would like the btn to appear. (At this time, the Follow btn cannot be added to Facebook profiles.)
