Arthemia free v 2 is the wonderful free theme with a lot of unique features. In my previous blog post I’ve explained the customization method of this theme. The theme is provided with the links to submit the blog posts to famous social bookmarking sites like “digg”, del.iceo.us, stumble, technorati, facebook, seed newswine, reddit and yahoo. The famous “twitter” button to “tweet the post” is missing by default. Here the method to add a ” tweet me” button on blog posts along with other social bookmarking site buttons.
- Make an 18 x 18 sized twitter/tweetme button named tweet.png. Upload the same to the folder wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable.
- Go to wp-content/themes/arthemia/single.php. insert the following code <a href=”http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>” target=”_blank”><img src=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/sociable/tweet.png” title=”Tweet this!”></a>
just after this code ……….title=”Add to Yahoo!”></a> - Done ! Now go to the blog posts you can see the tweet me button along with other submit buttons.
- Similarly you can add other famous social bookmarking site’s links also. For that just change the URL of the site and and add suitable buttons.
There’s also a simple Tweet This button, with forwarding, that doesn’t require an API key or PHP code at http://ko.ly.
Cheers,
Dave

I am not so web savvy but thanks to your excellent step by step guide it now works perfectly on this amazing theme. Thanks to Google image search and being able to search for exact image sizes I added a free to use twitter button on thingstodoinnyc.com
