So This Happened…500 Followers on WordPress
Congratulations on getting 500 total follows on The Blog of Tony Burgess!
Your current tally is 501.
I have been registered and have had some dormant blogs here on WordPress for several years. Back in April I made the decision I needed a change of venue for my blogging and decided that WordPress would be more than adequate to suit my needs.
I thank each of you who have followed this blog and for your interest in what I have to say. Sometimes I ramble on about things in my head and other times there are things that just need to be said. Keep on blogging good people!
How Best To See Embedded Tweets In My Posts
Twitter has the feature of letting tweets be embedded in blogs and other sites. I am using this option to help curate things I am interested in. To see the embedded tweets in my blog you need to see the blog itself and not through the WordPress Reader because it doesn’t display the way it should.
Embedding tweets is a great way to bring new content and link people to stories on the web you want to share. To find out more on how to do this visit https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169559 where they have complete instructions. Now in WordPress you will need to use the HTML not the Visual editor to do this.

Keep On Blogging
Life is a busy place to be and we are all living it daily. Situations arise when we don’t have a great deal of time to blog because of reasons. One thing you can do is to post pictures from every day or perhaps to send up a couple of sentences about what’s going on in life. Blogging is not supposed to be a chore, its something we do because we love it. The process of chronicling ones life can help you organize what you are thinking and doing. It can also help to remind you what you might have done a week ago. Keep this thing called blogging a fun and practical way to connect with yourself and others.
