How to: Link Your Blog Posts to Your Twitter Feed

I can't claim to be an expert on twitter, honestly I find it mostly confusing, but I do have a nifty tool to share for adding your blog posts to your twitter feed. It's especially nice for those of us who don't post on twitter very often because it helps to keep up an appearance of more regular postings on twitter. Having an active twitter feed only helps with increasing a better business following on twitter which can be quite beneficial. And so in this tutorial we will work together using twitter feed to link your blog and twitter account together.

{Special Note: Before we begin you will need to have a twitter profile, a blog and a blog feed set up. If you do not have a blog feed set up yet, simply visit my step-by-step tutorial by clicking here.}

To begin, we will visit http://twitterfeed.com...

Here we will type in our information which can be either your personal name or a business name. Once the information is filled in click the "Create Account" button...

In the next screen we will need to type in a name and the address of our blog feed...

To retrieve you blog feed simply sign into your blog and navigate to the "Design"section (used to be "Layout" tab) and click on the "Settings" tab...

Next click on "Site Feed"...

There you will find your site feed address which you can highlight and right click to copy...

Which you can scroll over to highlight and right click to copy....

Now we will return to twitter feed where we will paste in the feed url and click "Continue to Step 2"...

With your blog feed set up you will now see an list of available sites you can authorize to receive your blog feed. Here we will set up your twitter to accept your blog feed so begin by clicking on "Twitter"...

On the next screen we will click the large blue button to allow twitter feed to link to our twitter account...

And in the next window we'll click "Allow"...

Once completed you will now see your twitter information appear under Active Services...

When you're finished looking over this page you can click "All Done"...

You're now finished and can click the "Go to Dashboard" button for an overview of your feed and services....

Congratulations! You've now set up your blog to feed into your twitter profile. You can return to twitter feed at any time to set up other features such as Facebook. Don't worry if your latest blog posting doesn't show up twitter immediately as the twitter feed checks updates about every hour so it will show up soon.

Enjoy!
