Thanks Jonathan, that was exactly what I was looking for. I keep looking for something using "share" or "website sharing" who the heck knew it was tweetmeme. I have found Twitter a rather difficult site to navigate and find things.
What I did and it worked (but the twitter script is better) was I copied a link from another site and dissected it. Coming up with this. The quotation marks are escaped because it is inserted from a php script after a DB retrieval. <a href=\"http://twitter.com/home?status=$share_title $url_link\"><img src=\"/gif/share_twitter.png\" border=\"0\"/></a> The $ share_title is a string trimmed to the specific length (80) otherwise it does not work. the $url_link is the link to the article. Thanks for the help. Dave
