Twitter Updates From Your WP Blog

An article by Darin Wagner    No Comments

I spoke to a colleague this morning about setting up a WordPress blog. During the conversation, he mentioned the he is currently using Twitter to keep parents/guardians updated about what is happening in his classroom. That prompted me to look for a WordPress plugin that would send a tweet each time there was a new blog post, thus saving the teacher having to create two entries – one for his blog and one for Twitter.

After some searching, I found two plugins that will work – Twitter Updater and Twitter Tools. There are some minor differences between the two but the end result is the same. I installed each one on a test account and had success posting to Twitter with both plugins.

So if you have a blog and a Twitter account, take advantage of these resources to keep your followers up to date!
