 * Dear sjebner,
 * Thanks for using our plugin.
 * For adding the twitter handle you will have to make some changes in the plugin’s
   PHP files. Please read on.
 * Open the file small-buttons.php (located in wp-content/plugins/simple-social-
   share/includes). Go to line number 8 which should look like below
 * `<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="
   none">Tweet</a>`
 * Suppose your twitter username is `xyz` then add `data-via="xyz"` before `data-
   count="none"` in above line with space in between two. So after addition line
   number 8 should look like
 * `<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-via="xyz"
   data-count="none">Tweet</a>`
 * Let us know if this works or not.
 * Thanks & Regards,
    Perials Team.
