3. How to replace with my own values?

The first line stays as it is

This is the content you would like to be tweeted. Don't forget to replace spaces and symbols by  appropriate codes

This is the hyphen that separates your content and the URL (optional)

This is the code for http://

This is your URL after the http chunk

This is hashtag for Twitter

This is the @username on Twitter

I need codes for my punctuation and symbols

The ones I use most often are these ones:

space          + 

?            %3F 

,            %2C 

#            %23 

@           %40 

If you'd like more codes, you can have a look at this list, this is the one I work with too.

How do I shorten my URL?

If you'd like to shorten your URL but don't know how to do, the easiest way is to use Bit.ly
