    One of my blogs won’t show on Twitter. When i click the authorize button, I get a message from Twitter telling me someone else has used this name and that is is probably an honst mistake. The “someone else” is me. Prior to knowing I could automatically have my blog show up on Twitter, I typed the address in, now I can’t authorize. Can someone give me some help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Here’s what you need to do:

    1. Log into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> My Blogs -> uncheck “Twitter” under “Publicize”.
    (On the “My Blogs” page, make sure you’re looking at the correct row for the blog in question.)

    2. Reload the page and confirm that the twitter checkbox is unchecked.

    3. Clear your browser’s cookies (this clears some cookies that twitter sets which I think are causing part of the problem).
    Google has a good tutorial on how to clear your browser’s cookies for any browser:

    4. Log *back* into your WordPress.com blog. Go to your blog’s dashboard -> My Blogs -> *reclick* “Twitter” under “Publicize”.

    5. Wait for the popup to appear that asks you to “Authorize connection with Twitter”. Click that button.

    6. Sign in to Twitter and click “Allow”.
