Hi Fernando,
You can instruct the follow button to hide the screen_name by passing the
parameter show_screen_name as false. When using data attributes this would
be written as data-show-screen-name=false.
Remember that the user’s screen_name must always be displayed next to the
Follow Button though. We cover this in the guidance on our developer
resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/follow_button#how-can-i-use-the-follow-button-only-and-display-the-users-screenname-myself
In it we say:
Note that if you decide to set the show_screen_name parameter to false,
you’ll still have to display “manually” which @username the Follow button is
interacting with. In other words, it has to be very clear who the user is
going to follow by clicking your Follow Button.
Hope that helps,

Hello
I'm trying to put together one beside the other the new follow us
button and tweet button.
I simply can't.
They just can't stick together.
The parameter show screen name false is not hiding the @username in
text, thus causing the button for follow us, to be very wide and
making the other button go down one line.
Tried with css, no joy.
Any help please!
I do have 2 twitter buttons on my page:
!-- twitter --a href=http://twitter.com/share; class=twitter-
share-button data-count=none data-via=example data-lang=es data-
width=64 show_screen_name=falseTweet/a
script type=text/javascript src=http://platform.twitter.com/
widgets.js/scripta href=http://twitter.com/example;
class=twitter-follow-button show_screen_name=false data-show-
count=false data-width=64 data-lang=es/a!-- fin twitter --
The problem is I don't want to show the @username because when I do,
those 2 buttons doesn't fit in my nav bar.
The code above works ok in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox 4, I
still see the @username in text beside the image button, causing the
buttons to show in 2 different lines and spoiling my layout.
The data-width=64 parameter should do the trick, but is not working
in firefox.
How do I get only the image button?
BTW I couldn't find a way to show only small custon icons instead,
thus I'm trying at least to get rid the text part of username
Please help!
