A little exercise to see if I can integrate Twitter into my resurrected blog. One of the tools in my work Movable Type installation lets the bloggers there make a tweet when they publish an article. I even use it for my admin blog to tell them what’s going on and when I’ve broken something. Can I do the same for my personal WordPress blog? I think I can.

I’ve actually used two tools – one from xhanch.com for displaying recent tweets, and one from Alex King for the posting integration bit.

Well, if you’re reading the tweet or this post, then it’s done what it’s supposed to do!
