  I’ve been Googling around for a way to easily Tweet older posts, which aren’t very discoverable right now. There is an excellent self-hosted plugin for that purpose, but it looks like I’ll need to script it myself to get something like this working for WordPress.com. Which makes me think: this functionality should be part of WordPress.com, since there are probably many people like me who’ve been writing for years and would like a way to make their old-but-hale posts viable.

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

  That would be a nice functionality to add to WordPress.com. Hope it gets added soon. But given how focused they are on the new UX work, I am hoping it might take a year or so. Just thought, I would let you know that, users can’t add any scripting or code to their WordPress.com site. Any code except certain HTML code is usually not executed. Till that time, I guess we just have to work around using apps like Buffer and IFTTT.
