How to add a follow button to your website

The >x< Follow Button is a widget you can add to your website or homepage that lets visitors follow your account directly from that page. It's a simple way to increase your followers.

What is the follow button?

The follow button allows people to follow your account directly from your personal homepage or any website where the button is installed. When people click this button, the following occurs:

  • When logged in, a small pop-up screen displays with more information about your account when the button is clicked.
  • When not logged in, people will see a similar pop-up screen that allows them to view your account's following/follower information, sign in, and then follow you.
How to add the follow button to your site
  1. Log in to your >x< account.

  2. Go to https://publish.x.com/.

  3. Customize the follow button to your liking with the available options.

  4. Copy and paste the code into the HTML of your website wherever you would like the button to appear. (At this time, the follow button cannot be added to Facebook profiles.)
