How to Remove @sharethis from Sharethis Twitter Code

We almost removed sharethis code from this blog because each time someone tweets my link, it automatically adds via @sharethis to the tweet. We're pretty sure most of those using this code would love to remove sharethis handle from their tweets and probably change it to their own Twitter username.

Instead of gaining followers for sharethis, using your own Twitter handle when your posts gets tweeted may fetch you a couple of more followers.

The set of stylish share buttons We published uses this code and if  you implement that code, you can try this out.

Changing @sharethis to your own twitter handle

- Locate the tweet button within the code you’re using. It should look like this:

<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'>

- Add this to the code:

st_via='YourTwitterHandle'

You must replace YourTwitterHandle with your own twitter username.

- The resulting code should look this:

<span class='st_twitter_hcount' st_via='bloggerhelp24' displayText='Tweet'>

You can try using the tweet button below this post to see if it really works. ;
