Out of curiosity, would it be possible to link the Holy Worlds Twitter feed with the blog?

Methinks it ought to be. We ought to be able to feed it to Buzz too.
But that's a Jay thing, I can't even figure out how to link a wordpress blog to buzz. :roll:

In which direction? Do you want to generate an automatic tweet when a new blog post is made? That would be a good idea. Or do you want a sidebar on the blog with the recent tweets displayed in it?

The Twitter stream automatically feeds to the Buzz account currently.

I think that's what we're talking about.

So basically, when we post on the blog, there is an automatic Tweet that gets sent out, right? Am I following? *hopes she is * I think that is a great idea, actually.

Actually, I was thinking the second, but the first sounds like a good idea too. :D

Having a Twitter feed on the sidebar of the blog is a design issue - Jay would have to rule on that one. Most people have them on their blogs, but I don't know if that's what he wants for HW.

While I hope to tweet each blog post personally, I sometimes forget, so having an automatic stream would ensure that it gets tweeted at least once. I don't know how to set those up, though... :P

Thanks for bringing this up, Lizzie! :D

Both can be done. :) It's just up to which one we want to do.

I want to do both, actually, it is just a matter of installing the plugins. :)

And feeding wordpress posts into buzz is also a good idea, I just need to set it up, haha. :D

*pokes thread*

The new posts to twitter can be set up with TwitterFeed *adds to todo list*

The Twitter sidebar is fairly easily done, and it can be done when the blog is *eventually* redesigned :) (Hopefully this summer). *also adds to todo list*

As to Buzz, which is now dead...does HW have a Google+ page? Do we need a Google+ page or is Twitter enough?

HW does have a Google+ page, though I don't think much has been done with it so far.
