Twitter-Publisher plugin for Wordpress

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Twitter-Publisher is a Wordpress plugin to automagically publish a tweet whenever a new post created on our blog. Pretty cool. To hook up Twitter-Publisher on your Wordpress blog, follow these steps.

1. Login as site-admin to your blog
2. On the lefthand menu, choose “Plugins”
3. Then choose “Add New” that expands in the menu
4. In the search box, just enter Twitter-Publisher, it will be found as the first entry.
5. To the right, click on “Install”. Wordpress will do a few things in the background and the plugin will get loaded.
6. Return back to the list of Plugins, and click on Settings under the Twitter-Publisher plugin. Fill out the settings, they are pretty easy to understand. You will need a Twitter account and enter the account credentials here.

Note: for best results, you will want to setup a FREE bit.ly URL shortening account. Just go out to http://bit.ly and fill out a free account. You put the bit.ly credentials (username and API Key) in the Settings page of Twitter-Publisher.

That’s it.
