Since I got the blog back on it's feet yesterday with a spiffy new typo 5.2 install, and using capistrano to deploy it. I got the itch to hack on typo just a bit.

A few blog posts back, I started adding tweetmeme "retweet" badges to each article. Although the process was fairly simple, it required manually entering the articles permalink, which required a bit of thought, and was slightly error prone.

Typo now has the facility to add custom text filters which gave me the perfect opportunity to automate my workflow.

The result is a new typo_tweetmeme plugin which is available on github as of a few minutes ago.

To install it just go into your typo directory and execute:

$ script/plugin install git://github.com/rubyredrick/typo_tweetmeme.git

Then in your article, just insert :

That's all there is to it.
