in my Twitter <li>, when I add the "?screen_name=username" portion to the href, the username on the page doesnt display.

when I input this line: <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet">@mokk_me</a></li>

@mokk_me is displayed on the contact page in the 3rd buller point.

But when I add the "?screen_name=mokk_me" in the link (href) as follows: <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=mokk_me">@mokk_me</a></li>

The third bullet point on the contact page shows blank. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Hi,

I think this isn't working for you because you have left out the additional quotation marks around mokk_me in the href. If you use the following instead it should work:

<li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name="mokk_me"">@mokk_me</a></li>

Hope this helps.

I just tried that and it didn't work either... I'm really not sure what the problem is :S The link without the "" around the username give me the appropriate Twitter page.
