Add Twitter to your Blog

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Twitter is one of the latest online buzz marketing tactics, and here is a collection of the top 10 twitter tools, plugins, widgets and scripts to integrate with your wordpress blog.

  • TweetSuite -  a Twitter-WordPress integration plugin that includes server-side TweetBacks, ReTweet-This buttons, digg-like Tweet-This Button, automatic tweeting of new posts and some widgets.
  • Tweet This - A plugin that adds a Twitter icon to every post and page, so your readers can share your blog entries on their Twitter accounts with ease.
  • WP Twitip ID - Plugin adds an extra field to the comment form for user to enter their twitter username
  • Twitter Badge - Official javascript codes that display badges showing what you are posting on Twitter.
  • The Twitter Updater - a wordpress plugin that automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.
  • TwitThis is an easy way for people to send Twitter messages about your blog post or website. When visitors to your website click on the TwitThis button or link, it takes the URL of the webpage and creates a shorter URL using TinyURL. Then visitors can send this shortened URL and a description of the web page to all of their friends on Twitter.
  • Twitter Tools - This wordpress plugin creates an integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. Pull your tweets into your blog and create new tweets on blog posts and from within WordPress.
  • Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget - Customise the number of updates shown in your sidebar, individual links to each status update on Twitter, style your Twitterings using CSS, choose whether to display your Twitter name before each post and customise text between the post text and the relative time.
  • Twitter Feed - Posts your blog updates to your twitter account. Login to twitterfeed using your OpenID, provide the URL for your blog RSS feed, and how often to post to Twitter.
  • Twitt-Twoo - is a simple little plugin that will allow you to update your Twitter status right from your blog’s sidebar. It is AJAX powered and allows for quick and easy status updates.
  • Twitter Sharts - ‘Shart’ your twitter status anywhere within your wordpress blog posts or pages.

I hope these Twitter tools will help you integrate Twitter in your wordpress blog and vice versa. Found a Twitter tool for this list? Post it in the comments below and I’ll update the list accordingly for all to share.

Wordpress as a CMS

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Wordpress LogoWhat can I say, I’m having an affair with Wordpress - again. Another sleepless night, unable to peel myself away from the endless array of widgets and plugins that enables you to extend the base Wordpress platform into a Web 2.0 multimedia extravaganza. It’s brilliant. It’s addictive. It’s open-source CMS with a HUGE community supporting it. Wordpress is also stacked, out of the box almost, for SEO. There are some minor tweaks you may need to action, and plugins you need to install, but generally the Wordpress engine pumps out validated XHTML that the SE’s prefer. You can add a Google Sitemap at the click of a button, detailed stats at the click of a button - it’s endless. I’ll prepare a list at some stage of the plugins I’ve tested, and my favourite all time, must have plugins.

I’ve been working with a template that has simply revolutionalised a series of network sites I’m building out for the education sector. This template, once you get your head around it, displays alot of information in a rather clear, functional and accessible manner. Very much a CNN style “News Theme”. One of the tweaks I performed was Ad Rotation with comprehensive tracking tools, including analytics. Clients can access their profiles for ease of enhancement, and advertising reports and statistics to see where their leads are coming from.

There are times when you experience conflicts and corruption, but you can always find a thread or post somewhere outlining the solution, as you can bet someone else, elsewhere, has had a similar issue at some stage.

Seriously though - why would you even think of paying for a CMS, let alone a custom CMS, when you can use something so well supported such as Wordpress? …that has literally thousands of themes available, and is totally extendable. I’ve been refining and perfecting a few templates, stacked to the hilt with all of the required widgets, plugins and modifications, etc. Mind you, everything is always upgrading. …and it’s not too hard to go plugin crazy and swamp your template with extraneous code that’ll inevitably slow the user experience right down if not exercised with relative frugality.

More on this later…
