Hey all!

Right, well as you can tell from the last post I just added TweetSuite to my blog and it’s brilliant! I just added a post as per normal, saved everything as per normal, and published it… yes… as per normal. The only difference is that it updated Twitter automatically. For all those who haven’t caught up on what Twitter is, it’s MicroBlogging. A small post worth 140 characters giving a short sharp concise message to everyone on what you’re up to! Check out my post about Twitter.

Here’s how to add TweetSuite to your blog. Head on down to http://danzarrella.com/beyond-tweetbacks-introducing-tweetsuite.html and download the plugin (You’ll find the link part way down the page).

Then once it’s downloaded, log in to your hosting area for your blog, find the directory for your site, then go to the contents directory, and then the plugin directory. Upload it here in Zip format (using Zip upload) and it will automatically extract.

After this, head back to your blog admin area, e.g. www.lifeof7.com/admin and get to the area where your plugins are (usually the ‘plugins’ tab). Activate the TweetSuite plugin and go to the Settings tab. Make sure everything is to your liking, insert your Twitter username and password, and save.

Then as normal, create a post! Remember, when you create a post, the title of it will show up on Twitter as a Tweet, and it will turn the long URL into a ‘TinyURL’ for people to click on.

Simple!

P.S. Don’t forget to create a Twitter account before you do all this otherwise you’ll be stuck halfway!

Excellent post!
I’m using this already and it’s so good.

There have been a few weird moments when I may have changed the date that I was going to publish the post but it came up on Twitter anyway. When the reader clicks on the link, it shows an error message because the post is DUE to be published, rather than, having been published already.

If you know how to prevent this happening again, I’d be grateful :)

Interesting and informative, but would make something more on this topic?

Hi there. Could you explain a bit more about this comment? Would you like me to comment more on it? Or explain more about it?

It’s simple. Don’t change the date… :)

Just kidding. I’ll have a play around with it and let you know.
