Seo Must-Have: How To Connect Your WordPress Blog To Twitter
With that in mind, lets move on to the plugin that makes this integration so simple.
Twitter Tools
First you need to get Twitter Tools, the plugin that actually tweets your blog post in the first place. Download the zip file, extract it all to a folder and upload the folder to your site under your-blog-name/wp-content/plugins.
From the WordPress Dashboard, choose Plugins and notice that there are actually four separate plugins that are installed when you integrate Twitter Tools:
Twitter Tools
Twitter Tools Bit.ly URLs
Twitter Tools Exclude Category
Twitter Tools Hashtags.
Well just be dealing with number 1, the main plugin. Click Activate, and then choose Settings to input your Twitter username and password. Set the Enable option to create a tweet when you post in your blog drop-down to Yes. Youll also want to set the Tweet prefix for new blog posts. This is what will be in the first part of the tweet, e.g.:
Bobs Widgets: A great new range of widgets just launched! http://bit.ly/g45sA
Leave all other options as they are and save your details. Everythings now set up and you should see your next blog post is instantly delivered to your Twitter account. The bit.ly integration in the example above is done automatically, which is nice.
