If you installed your blog, readers like to add it so that they can promote their site or product and at the same time get exposure by many people within the same category. There are many plug-in for wordpress came. But this new plugin actually worked for my theme (support wordpress2.8 installed). Yesterday , i going through new plug-in in wordpress and found “ twitterlink comment” which is realised by commentluv.

From various authors many plug-in realised .in case of my theme its not working. But the previous plugins are work well with thesis theme/framwork and their child theme. When i tried to install my comment box -collapsed and some theme features are not responding. But this plug-in is very good. I tried it and no errors for me. – lets digg into tutorials –

Easy steps:

1. Backup your files(optional- not needed, mainly index.php and config.php).

2. Download plugin from TwitterLink Comments.

5. it seems not good with the background, and my suggestion is to add under the website link field. Select option “ NO” from the settings and save it.

Now open the comment.php from editor and search the “ website “ and below that add the following code. or above the code also your wish.

<p><input id="atf_twitter_id" type="text" name="atf_twitter_id" > Twitter ID <br><small>(ID only. No links or "@" symbols)</small>
