I think of this blog as a meandering journey into the digital world. Today I walked through the dashboard, which is the back end of a WordPress post. It was relatively easy, although it’s capabilities are a bit overwhelming.
My immediate intention was to add metadata, i.e., categories and tags, to my two previous posts, while also giving myself a tour of the other functions that exist on the dashboard.
One of these functions allows me to publicize my posts to my other accounts, such as Twitter and LinkedIn. But so far the results have been less than perfect. For instance, nothing has shown up on my Twitter account. I have a theory as to why this might be happening, and am hoping that his post will appear there. Go look! Twitter. Did I succeed?
Yes, the twitter links are there! Have you considered adding a brief description along with the title and URL?
You mean in Twitter, right? It seems to pick automatically pick up the title of the blog and the short link. With each blog I’ve been adding an excerpt, which you can see in Twitter if you click on View Summary. I know there must be a better way, but I don’t know how to do it yet. It’s really the reason I started this blog, so any tips you have would be great!
