  When somebody wants to share one of my posts on Twitter they get “[Post name] [post linlk] via @wordpressdotcom”.
  How do I make sure that my own Twitter user name is used instead of @wordpressdotcom?
  My Twitter account is already linked to WordPress in the Publish>Publicize section.

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

  Thanks – this is a good solution.
  The only problem is that it doesn’t shorten links.

  Twitter automatically does this job for you to shorted it to 20 characters. Only the link shows at full.
