Now that I’ve begun to use Twitter again I wanted to see if there was some way for my blog to tell Twitter when I’ve posted. A quick Google late last week showed up Twitter Updater, a WordPress plugin that seemed to fit the bill.

After installing it and setting it up I noticied that it wasn’t sending anything to Twitter. Presuming that someone else must have had the same issue I spotted a link from the author’s blog to a mod which fixes it. I was going to stick in a graph with my TweetStats but they seem to be working on that site.

This was taken at Pavel’s 30th birthday party in Czech in 2005. We had planned to play a match with the Irish lads vs the Czechs but when a thunderstorm blew in it turned the sandy pitch to a muddy mess. As you can see we went ahead anyway.

If your not reading this in a feed reader then you may notice a few changes on the side bar. I’ve switched it around slightly and have installed the rather impressive Now Reading plugin. I wanted a way to show people what I’m reading at the moment and it fills the bill rather well. I’ve tweaked the display slightly with the template functions but have yet to really explore features like the library. Will do in the future. I’ve also ditched the Jaiku updates in favour of my ones from Twitter and I’ve also lowered the amount of stories shown in the Digg box to 5.

I read a good few Irish bloggers and they all seem to blog a hell of a lot more than I do. Dammit, what the hell is up with my writing of late?!

It was bugging me to update in the back end of the site but I hate having to download the full zip and overwrite all the files so….I found this list of changed files on the WP forums. No idea if it’s official or whatever but it seems to have worked for me.
