I want a Twitter plugin for this blog, and probably for other WanderNote blogs. My first thought was that WordTwit was the way to go. It turns blog posts into tweets. Well, it didn’t, at least not for this blog.
I left a comment at what seemed to be the appropriate post over at BraveNewCode. It received no response for a day or two. Then my bookmark for my comment gave a 404 error.
Unimpressed, I tried another plugin. I had shied away from Twitter Tools, since it offers fuller integration between posts and tweets than I was looking for. But I gave it a try, since its settings allowed me to instruct it not to go crazy.
Well, Twitter Tools did go crazy. Even though I said “No” to “Create a blog post from each of your tweets?” it spewed out a bunch of new posts from old tweets. Ta-ta, TT.
Now I’m trying WP to Twitter. I’m hoping that it tweets this post, and does nothing else. Let’s see… no… let’s check plugin settings and update this post…
