  Hey all,

  I am wanting to change the default tweet for my posts from “: ” to “: #politicalisation”

  Is that possible, or would I need to do it through a twitterfeed account?

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

  There’s no way to do it automatically on WordPress.com blogs, but you can edit the twitter message by clicking on the “Edit” link next to Publicize:Twitter in the Publish module.

  One thing I have noticed on my own edited tweets is that if I add anything after the link, WordPress.com repeats the link to the post when tweeting.

  Thanks for that. Probably easiest to just use twitterfeed then.

  Thanks again.

  I just have a WordPress.com blog. I’d like my Twitter feed to say something like “Check out my latest blog post <post title>: <post link>”. Is this possible? I didn’t understand the reference above to the Publish module.

  Thanks.
