I just got a rather disturbing email from my good friend telling me that my Twitter account has been suspended. I haven’t been able to log in for the past few weeks, but assumed it was a Twitter programming issue as it always told me to try and login later. Now I find that I am suspended for strange activity. Has this happened to anyone else? Does any one know why?

Twitter Bug Report

“I just got an email from a friend trying to add me as a contact. He sent me a screen shot of a page that read, “This account is currently suspended and is being investigated due to strange activity”. I haven’t been able to log in in for the past few weeks. I thought it was an issue with Twitter. Now it looks like I’m suspended??? Can someone let me know what’s going on. I’d like to be able to tweet again, but for some reason am unable to right now. I think this issue might have started around the same time I installed the tweet this plugin for Firefox. It’s hard to tell though as I’m not sure how long my account has actually been suspended.”

I was bouncing around the net trying to find some easy, “Copy and Paste”, code to add Sociable type functionality to my Blogger blog and had little luck locating code that actually did what it said it would. So I set to the task of writing something that would.

Below is some simple code you can copy and paste into your Blogger template to add the following group of social networks to your Blogger web sites.

Step by step directions

1. Access your Blogger dashboard and click on the layout tab. Select the, “Edit HTML“, sub tab.

2. Make sure, “Expand Widget Templates“, is selected. You can also revert to your defaulted widget template by clicking the revert button on the bottom.

3. Look for the following strip of code in your template.
