Twitter Tools for WordPress

I’m toying with the idea of extending my use of Twitter to cross post the titles and URLs of new posts on this blog (and others that I contribute to) as a kind of aggregator as well as micro-blogging platform. I’ll be using Alex King’s Twitter Tools WordPress plugin to to the job.

If all goes well, this will be posted to Twitter as well, and I’ll be geekily happy.

[Update] And lo, it worked, and I was happy.

Being @tag on Twitter

Posted in twitter | 2 comments

When I signed up to Twitter in early February 2007 I wanted as short a username as possible, and as Twitter was still young, I was able to get a three letter username – @tag – which are my initials (@tom had gone) to save on those precious 140 characters. Twitter didn’t do tagging, and [...]

A quick post to mention that a few native Symbian S60 Twitter clients are under development. I haven’t installed or tried any of these, but when I have the time, I’ll post my feedback here.

Gravity will be a commercial product, developed by mobileways, who already offer native S60 Twitter functionality within their WirelessIRC software. From [...]

Twitter Digests

I’ve just switched off the automatic posting of Twitter digests to this blog, and given my Tweets a nice little home in the sidebar. Seeing my blog fill up with posts called something like “Twitter Updates for 2008-04-03” and looking at the ramblings within made it look like I had abandoned it (I’ve just been [...]

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5

You’ll have to excuse the old-skool default WordPress template, as I’m having some issues with the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 (and some disk-quota problems on Dreamhost – my fault though!).
Normal (*cough*) service will resume shortly. Hopefully.
Oh, and when the WordPress upgrade guidelines say “disable all plugins” – they really, really mean it.

I’m just testing out the Simple Tags Wordpress Plugin as I would like to post content to my blogs remotely (such as from my mobile phone, from Flock, and from my Mac’s Dashboard), but still tag the content.
Simple Tags allows you to add tags in the body of a post, which will be imported when [...]

Does anyone know of a decent OSX dashboard widget for posting to a WordPress blog? I’ve been using WordPressDash on and off for over two years now, and in Leopard some strange things have happened to its appearance. One that supports WP2.3’s tags would be nice.

Ideas, anyone?

WordPress Plugin: Flexible Upload

Posted in WordPress | No comments

I have long been frustrated by the way WordPress handles image uploads. Normally I have to resize an image first, before I upload it, if I want it to span the width of a post. In K2, my current theme, this is 500px. I’ve always wished that I could just upload an image, and have [...]
