What I’m looking for is the opposite: sending notifications to my Twitter feed every time I post an entry on my main WordPress.com blog.
It’s probably very simple but I haven’t the answer, yet. Thoughts?

That is indeed you Twitter feed, however your blog isn’t a wordpress.com blog which means you have your own host whereas wordpress.com and this blog are on a Multiuser blogging software similar to yours.

This also means that you can use the Twitter badges provided by Twitter: http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=39

Hope that helps. :)

Trying to use twitter over an rss widget on wp and getting errors.

http;//twitter.com/jamesspratt
gives me:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/4423.rss

Any ideas?

Thanks,

James

I believe that to be a problem with the RSS widget. I have both my facebook and my twitter feed set up and lately they have been very slow and only updated after 3-8 hours.

Looking at your blog, it seems to have updated.

I added the widget to the sidebar about 5 hours ago and the only thing that is posted is my first “tweet.” The others I made shortly thereafter are not showing up — I even tried pasting the URL for the feed into the widget again, to see if that would force it to show the other items, but it still doesn’t. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.

I practically gave up on it. It only works if I use the Opera Mini browser on my phone which routes data through servers in norway for speed…. perhaps my ISP’s blocked it or something..

Well, as you’re using your own account now, how about you go to your wordpress.com Dashboard and click ‘My profile’ in the top right to upload an avatar?

Yea i might go for one of the badges instead.

Of the zyber23 thing is my account for wordpress so i could get the API code thingy to block spam and other pluggins etc.

Yes, it may have limited customisation, but at least things work someway or the other.

Have you had a look at the selfhosted wp forums? http://wordpress.org/support/

And for twitter, well, just stick one of the badges on that we can’t have here!

I still need to write something to add the RSS feed into my blog instead of taking the easy way out and getting another site to do it instead.

I’m currently messing around with several different thirdparty applications to see which one is the best for me. Still liking Twitbin, but I can have it running the same time as Sage…

Decisions, decisions..

Simply put, I know what I want, but can’t really describe it. All I know is that I want multiple images on there and he’s known me for long enough to understand my ramblings. ;)

Thank you very much for the offer though!

@Cat: I can make a header for you. I have to make one for Sha and since she’s using the same theme so it wouldn’t be a lot of pain building two headers with the same dimensions. You’ll need to tell me what you want in the header though. If you can provide the image you want to use, it would be even better. You can always e-mail me at ishhville(at)gmail(dot)com

- There is a facebook aplication which lets you post.

- There is Twitbin which both Sha and I use and that sits in your Firefox. . http://www.twitbin.com/

- Gtalk.

- Your phone.

- Twitteroo http://rareedge.com/twitteroo/

And so on… :)

Kewl, How to though. Educating the masses? Whats school for then? :P

Can’t believe a simple forum post of mine ended up in the FAQ. :D

Twitter is great, you should have another look really.

And yes, this is the Digg theme, I absolutely love this theme, it’s predominantely white, custom header [even though mine is just a plain whiete one at the moment, my previous ones didn't fit and I'm waiting for one of my photoshop friends to come online and make me one] and it’s got 2 sidebars. Perfect! :)

I actually get a very Digg-ish feeling when I visit your and Sha’s blog these days.

The RSS widget is a really cool feature but unfortunately not many people know about it’s power.

I tried putting one of those shiny Twitter badges on my profile too and I realized it wouldn’t work cause it has flash and javascript and they don’t use either of them at WP. I had a friend who was using them through an RSS widget too. But I never ended putting them up cause Twitter didn’t excite me enough.
