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.

Bold Prediction About Blogging

Blogging will be around when Twitter and Facebook fade into memory, at least I hope so. Some folks have said blogging is dead or passe but I think its future is still very bright. I am glad to be along for the ride. Keep on blogging friends, we still have many stories to tell and things to share.

My Rambling Posts, All In One Place

I like to ramble about things that rattle around in my head. Those posts are more like a stream of consciousness and thoughts that I want to share on my blog.  Now I have compiled all those posts into one category so you the reader can access them to see what is this idiot talking about.

Click the Rambling link on my menu bar on the front page to access those random thoughts.

Also in other blog maintenance issues have done some consolidation of About Tony pages into one menu item too.
