A simple tip for those who have just started to blog. How to make a twitter icon for your blog so that when your readers click on it it will lead them to your twitter page. It will increase your Twitter followers. This tip can also be used to make attractive RSS Icons to increase your subscribers.

The first thing you need is an image icon of twitter (or RSS Icon). just type “twitter icons” in Googles and you will find hundreds of them. Most are free to use but some are copyrighted, so read the instructions before downloading.

Once you have chosen an icon, design it to suit your taste. You can use photoshop or gimp and if you don’t have those, Microsoft Paint can also do the job. make sure your finished designed is not to big as you will probably want to put it in your sidebars.

The easiest way of making the finished image to a clickable link that will point to your twitter page is to go to your Post editor and use the upload image feature. Make sure you show the image URL before inserting the image. The whole string of codes will appear something like this:

<a href="http://blogigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/follw-me.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-773" title="follow-me" src="http://blogigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/follw-me.jpg" alt="follow-me" width="299" height="138" /></a>

with

http://twitter.com/yourtwittername

Or if you are doing it for your RSS feeds, change that to your feed’s  URL
