Add Your Blogger Post to Twitter



If you have a blog and you tweet, this is for you. Automatically tweet your blog posts! Head over to twitterfeed. It is a three step process:
  1. Create an account
  2. Add your feeds
  3. Track your feeds
Step 1: Create an account is simple enough. OpenID can sound scary, but fear not. Look here. If you have one of these accounts...or others, you have an OpenId already. This step is pretty easy. Let's move along.

Step 2: Add your feeds. This is actually a two step process.
  1. First, make sure twitter is in the little drop down box. Then click on Connect your feed to your Twitter Account. You are then swooped away to Twitter where you are asked...Allow twitterfeed access? Click allow and you are then returned back to twitterfeed.
  2. Now for the second part of step 2...Give your feed a name. I called mine BlogU. Then find your feed. Easy. Go to the Blogger Dashboard | Settings | Site Feed. Your feed URL is in the box by Post Feed Redirect URL. (Do you need help with getting a site feed? Read Setting up a RSS Feed.) After you get your RSS URL, paste it in and then test it by clicking on the little button. If all is well, you will get a message saying ok Feed parsed OK . Now click on the Create Feed button.

Step 3: After you clicked that last button, you will be taken to the page where you can track your feeds, edit them, delete them, or add another feed. I also clicked on switch to plain list view. It just made my options seems cleared to me.

TA DA!!!!! You are not blogging and twitting almost simultaneously. Welcome to the 20th century.
