How to Publish Blogger on Twitter

Publishing your Blogger posts to your Twitter profile is a simple way to gain both exposure and traffic, but, as of the time of publication, Blogger does not offer a plug-in to post directly to Twitter. Blogger is, however, owned by Google, which means you can access other Google services with the Google ID associated with your Blogger account. Feedburner in particular offers a variety of services, including automatically sending your Blogger posts to your Twitter profile.

Instructions:

1. • Navigate to Feedburner.google.com and enter the Google ID and password you use for your Blogger blog as your login information. You can log into Feedburner with your Google ID even if you have never used the service before.
   • 2 Type the URL for your Blogger blog into the "Burn a feed right this instant" field and click the "Next" button.
   • 3 Click the button next to the RSS feed for your blog, then click the "Next" button. Click the "Skip directly to feed management" link to skip the setup process and go straight to your Twitter settings.
   • 4 Click the "Publicize" tab at the top of the Feedburner homepage, then click the "Socialize" link on the left.
   • 5 Click the "Add Twitter Account" button. Feedburner will redirect you to Twitter. Enter the login information for the Twitter account you want to use, then press the "Allow" button to authorize access to Google and Feedburner. Your browser will redirect you back to Feedburner.
   • 6 Click the tab next to "Post Content." Choose "Title Only" if you only want to tweet the title of your blog posts with a link to your Twitter profile. Select "Title and Body" if you want to tweet the title and the first few words of your blog post. Select "Body Only" if you only want to tweet the first few words of the body of your blog post.
   • 7 Check the box next to "Include link." This will include a shortened link in all of your tweets linking back to your post on Blogger.
   • 8 Click the tab next to "Hash tags" and select "Create hash tags from item categories" if you want to include active link keywords based on your post categories in your tweets. You can scroll down to the "Sample Item Preview" heading to view a sample of what your tweets will look like.
   • 9 Click the "Activate" button at the bottom of the page to save your settings and activate automatic posting from Blogger to your Twitter profile.
