This plugin is no longer supported.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Updated to use Twitter OAuth. You'll have to re-login to Twitter. Basic Authentication is scheduled to end in June breaking all versions of this plugin before version 0.8<\/p>\n\n

Twitter Blog will not only tweet your blog post, but it will also check hourly for replies to that tweet and turn it into a comment on that blog post. It also uses the bit.ly<\/a> API for URL shortening and adds link generated to your bit.ly account for tracking purposes. Tweets with a hashtag of #blog (customizable) will also be converted to a blog post.<\/p>\n\n

  • Tweets about your blog post on posting<\/li>\n
  • Creates a bit.ly link when your blog post is tweeted and adds it to your bit.ly link history<\/li>\n
