Add Twitter Follow Button to Blogger Blogs

Twitter follow button has started gaining great attention from blogosphere. More and more blogs are adding it just near the post titles or on top sidebar to increase the number of their twitter followers and indirectly increase their pageviews. This button is an official button created by twitter developers and does not belong to a third part. As opposed to the retweet button this button loads quickly and doesn't disturb the load time of your website.
