Twitter Tools for Wordpress: Wow, that was easy

Apr 05
2009

I just installed Twitter Tools for Wordpress.  I was amazed how easy it was to install and configure.  Now I just hope it actually works as intended.  If it does, there should be a tweet associated with this blog post.  I cool little yes/no checkbox appears on my Wordpress post page asking me: “Notify Twitter about this post?”

p.s., What is the difference between tags and categories when making a post in Wordpress?

Shortcut Icon on Wordpress Blog

I wanted to add my nifty little shortcut icon to pages associated with my Wordpress blog.  To do this, just edit the header.php template file to insert the shortcut link markup:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://damonregan.com/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

in the <head> section.  I put mine just above the <title>.

First post on a blog I pay for

Up until now, I’ve only blogged on free sites (i.e, blogger.com and wordpress.com).  While this is a Wordpress blog, it is hosted on my new GoDaddy hosting account.  So far I’ve been impressed with the hosting facilities although I’m still getting acquainted.  I will be blogging here from now on and so my previous transmedia storytelling class blog (http://damonregan.wordpress.com) and my old blogger site (http://damonregan.blogspot.com) will be Web space junk until I figure out what to do with them.

I’m looking forward to learning more about Wordpress and upgrading this blog’s features.  If you’ve got Wordpress tips or recommendations, please share them.
