How do I create a retweet button?

I like to add a retweet button on my website page ( not a WP) and in the message with a default text and an embed URL. Does anyone know how to code this?

 

Make a link to "http://twitter.com/?status=YOURMESSAGE"

 

Not really a true "retweet", but it is as simple as making a link like:

http://twitter.com/home?status=Your message goes here http://example.com/index.html

Code (markup):

The user still has to click "update" on their twitter page to actually update their status however.

Twitter is going to incorporate a retweet function into their API very soon, and this will be the way you want to do this when it's ready.

You can take a look at the api documentation for the new retweet function, but developers can't use it yet (can't wait for this!)

Code (markup):

 

You can send a normal status with 'RT' text
You need to be familiar with this:

Copy and Paste the following code where you want the button to be displayed:

Official reTweet Button

When the URL is not the same as the current URL

Smaller Button

Different Username
