Wordpress: How do I display my Retweet buttons using the_excerpt() on my home page?
I am using thumbnails as custom fields for all my images associated with each excerpt on my home, archive, and search pages. the_excerpt() function strips all images. However, I want my Twitter retweet buttons back on display. How do I use the Twitter retweet buttons as custom fields? What is the url value for the Twitter retweet for custom fields? Please help. Thanks.
Please don't recommend the_content() function. I want to do this with the_excerpt() function. When I use the_content() on my home page with the quicktag, I have to fool around with image placement. It would just be nice to use the_excerpt().
