Usage

There’s two uses for this shortcode. The simplest form is demonstrated below, that adds the counter-less button into your post.

	[t url='get_permalink();']  

That was simple, no? If you want to add a counter, it’s only a parameter away and can be done in either of the vertical or horizontal configurations.


	[t countbox="horizontal/vertical"]  

Finally, this last example lets you define which related accounts show up after you’ve tweeted, hopefully to help you grab yourself a few more followers.
