Thanks so much, Saq! I may look into this later, but when I implemented your approach, it generated exactly what I wanted, for instance (that's from the static website output):
<a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://www.mentalnodes.com/Folders-kill-creativity&text=Folders kill creativity:%20https://www.mentalnodes.com/Folders-kill-creativity&via=anthilemoon&hashtags=mentalnodes"; target="_blank" title="Tweet"><img alt="Tweet" src="social-icons/Twitter.png"></a> (not sure why the URL says "Folders" and not "folders" but that's minor) Very grateful!
