  I see people on Twitter with updates that say “New Blog Post: …” and it gives a link to their blog post. How do I do this? Is it an automatic transfer thing?

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

  You need to pair your blog to your twitter account just go to “My Blogs” from the drop down menu on your top bar even if you only have one blog and there is a check box for yahoo and one for twitter
