How to Send Wordpress Posts to Twitter





1. Use WordPress' publicize feature. You can turn on this feature by clicking on the link that appears once you have published a new post. Not only does it create a link to your post in your Twitter feed, but it also shortens the link so you don't use too many characters. Using publicize, you can control which social networking sites your post is published to and customize the title before sharing.
2. Install a special plug-in. There are several WordPress plug-ins that will automatically publish new posts to your Twitter feed once you have linked your accounts. These include Post to Twitter, which prevents duplicate Twitter posts appearing if you also have a setting that creates Wordpress posts using your Twitter tweets. Twitter Tools creates a tweet indicating you have a posted a new blog entry, although it won't shorten the URL automatically. WP to Twitter will shorten the URL using the Cli.gs or Bit.ly services, and you can also choose to send a notification when you edit or update posts.

3. Use custom code. This will enable readers to send the post they're reading to Twitter and, if you click on the same link, for you to publish it on your own feed. You must have downloaded WordPress to use this method as you need access to the single .php file. Within the PHP code, find the loop you have created for your posts and enter the following inside it:
' title='Click to send this page to Twitter!' target='_blank'>Share on Twitter
. A link should now appear with every post you make that will allow both you and your readers to share your posts on Twitter.
