How To Add Twitter Cards In Blogger?

1. Summery Card:

To install twitter summery card in your blog include the code given below in your template after <head>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

Replace @101helperblog with your blog's twitter ID. You can check if your card is working fine or no by either tweeting your post or by using Twitter Card Validator.

2. Summery Card With Large Image:

Copy the below code and paste it in your template after <head> and save your template.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@101helperblog"/>
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@101helperblog"/>
<meta name="twitter:title" expr:content='data:blog.pageName'/>
<meta name="twitter:description" expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription'/>
<meta name="twitter:image" expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl'/>
</b:if>

Replace @101helperblog with your's(twitter:creator) and your blog's(twitter:site) twitter ID.

3. App Card:

This card is not for everyone because I don't think that bloggers have ios app. But maybe those who buy a domain later after successful blogging, the may create ios app. So this card is for those who have ios app and they want to increase their downloads. Simple include the below code in your template just after <head>.

After adding this code in your site or blog below <head> make following changes.

1. <meta name="twitter:card" content="app"/>
2. <meta name="twitter:site" content="YOUR SITE'S TWITTER ID"/>
3. <meta name="twitter:description" content="SITE DESCRIPTON"/>
4. <meta name="twitter:app:country" content="APP COUNTRY"/>
5. <meta name="twitter:app:name:iphone" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE NAME"/>
6. <meta name="twitter:app:id:iphone" content="YOUR APP ID FOR IPHONE"/>
7. <meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE URL E.G: cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
8. <meta name="twitter:app:name:ipad" content="YOUR APP'S IPHONE NAME"/>
9. <meta name="twitter:app:id:ipad" content="YOUR APP ID FOR IPAD"/>
10. <meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="YOUR APP'S IPAD URL E.G: cannonball://poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>
11. <meta name="twitter:app:name:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY NAME"/>
12. <meta name="twitter:app:id:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY ID E.G: io.fabric.samples.cannonball"/>
13. <meta name="twitter:app:url:googleplay" content="YOUR APP'S GOOGLEPLAY URL E.G: http://cannonball.fabric.io/poem/5149e249222f9e600a7540ef"/>

4. Player Card:

Player card is for those sites which have videos or audio content. If you have a blogger having video content then you can install this card in your blog. Just copy the below code and paste it in each of your post's Html editor not in text editor or in template. After pasting the code below just make changes according to your needs. If you have videos hosted on youtube then you don't need this card because Youtube has installed the cards, you don't need to install player card.

One more thing about this card that after implantation of code you need to request Twitter for approval. So go to Twitter Card Validator to first confirm that your card is implanted correctly or no and after that you have to send request for approval.

After validating your player card you will see following page, click on Request Approval.

NOTE: Include the above code only once in a page for a video. Also use https for every link you add inside meta tags. Otherwise you won't get your player card approved!

I hope you found this post helpful. I have used all the meta tags in my template to check if they are working fine or no and I found every tag working fine. But if you have any problem ask me or if you have any info about Twitter Cards share it with me so that I can add it in this post.
