Displaying a Twitter Follow Button with Valid HTML

Here is some code that allows you to have a HTML Valid Twitter follow button?

Move the code into a document.write JS function and it will all validate.

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */

document.write('<a href="https://twitter.com/shanejones" class="twitter-follow-button">Follow @shanejones</a>');

/* ]]> */
</script>
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
