  I have my blog posts set up to also post on twitter and I’d like to have hashtags that wind up visible on twitter but without turning my blog post titles into the tags, I’ve seen that other blogs seem to do it but I don’t know how. Any suggestions?

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

  You can add hashtags to the titles OR you can not look awkward. You can’t have both. There is no way other than changing the “via @YourTwitterHandle” to “via @#Hashtag”

  Now, when you yourself share your post to Twitter you can add any hashtags you like, but that’s a different issue.

  When you are ready to publish your post, if you are using Publicize to Twitter, Just click on “Edit” in the Publish module where it says “Publicize: Twitter @yourtwitterhandle. You can change the text and add hashtags, but don’t touch the shortlink.

  Remember to change it back later, or all the rest of your posts will also use that hashtag.

  That’s odd, rain. That’s not happened on my posts… at least I haven’t had to change anything in later posts.

  Oh, I wasn’t reading closely enough. You meant on the Edit Post page, or on Publicize itself?
