WordPress.com posts on twitter
-
I really don’t want my whole post to be seen on twitter, just the link and the first lines of it. Can you please help me with this? There’s no extra option on the “Sharing” menu and it’s pretty ugly beacause twitter won’t show any links an photos!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks for the responce. I’m talking about the “sidebar” on twitter, where all the media (youtube videos, pictures) show up if you click on a tweet. The same happens with a wordpress.com post in its interity (text only). I’m just trying to figure out how can someone prevent it from happening. I’m cool with a way that only shows the first lines of the text and the link to my blog post, I hope there is one.

If you are referring to the Twitter widget then you cannot customize it.

I just read that again:

There is really nothing you can do about that except use the MORE tag on all your posts, which would be unfair to your regular readers.

Here is the link to the support entry on splitting text by inserting “the more tag” into your posts so only the beginnings of posts appear on your front page. -
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. I’m already using the “More” tag in every post (for other reasons than annoying my readers) but that doesn’t stop Twitter either. It’s the plain text again that shows up on there, no pictures, no links. Personally I’m gonna just share the blog’s home page instead of the blog’s url and stop using this sharing option until I find a solution to this (twitter’s Help does not help)

That is really NOT going to help your blog. People like to see posts; they don’t want to get some generic “welcome to my front page” welcome. And in terms of SEO you are really shooting yourself in the foot.

My tweets only show the link and whatever text or hash tags I put.
I don’t understand how Twitter could show the whole thing.

It’s in the sidebar, on the Profile page. Hardly anyone ever looks at the actual Profile page, though, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
