Ebook Sample Content Preview:
1. Twitter
Use the 'Twitter Tools' Wordpress plug in.
When this is installed and set up in your Wordpress blog. with your account details, notification of your new blog posts will automatically be posted on Twitter, using a bit.ly link.
2. Live Spaces
To enable auto posting to Live Space, I use the Wordpress Live Sync plugin. When this is installed and activated, you will need to go to the settings page, and enter your Live Spaces name and the secret word you used when you set up your Live Journal account.
You will get a message at the top of the screen when your settings are correct. Now every time you make a post, that post will be duplicated in your Live Spaces blog.
3. Multiply
I used another Wordpress plugin again – DJ Email Publish plugin.
To activate this plugin you will need to enable postings by email in your Multiply account, and generate your email address.
Enter this email address in your plugin activation page.
Make sure you click 'publish type' Full Text', and email encoding 'None'.
Simple as that!
4. SPN Babble
Yet another simple Wordpress plugin to install and activate, called SPN Babble.
Simply enter your SPN Babble user name and password on the plugin settings page, along with your Wordpress blog name, and you're good to go.
5. FriendFeed
To enable postings to your FriendFeed account simply go to the settings page of your FriendFeed account, and go to services.
Under the heading Blogging simply add you blog URL and your feed will be activated.
6. MyBlogLog
In your settings page simply enter your blog name and feed address to activate your linking.
7. Ping.fm
This is linked through another Wordpress plugin called PingPressfm.
You will need to create an account at Ping.fm.
When you have downloaded and activated this plugin, you will need to enter your Ping.fm API key, and create the triggers.
My tip here is to download version 2.2.6. of the PingPressfm plugin This is because the latest version 2.2.7 has some issues, but the previous version works fine so please ensure you install version 2.2.6.
Go to Triggers – select a trigger.
The drop down box will give you some options – please select Blog Entry – unlimited length.
This will allow posting to your blogging platforms in full, and to your microblogs in a shortened format.
Do not activate other triggers since this will create duplicate postings.
In your Ping.fm account set up the following accounts to enable Ping.fm to post to these accounts from Wordpress. Go to your settings page in Ping.fm, click on update settings at the bottom of this page.
Activate numbers 8-14 above, to enable blog posting via Ping.fm.
8. Xanga
9. Live journal
10. Tumblr
11. Posterous
12. Facebook
13. Blogger
14. Vox
When these accounts are enabled in Ping.fm, every time you post a new blog post it will be replicated in these accounts.
OK we are up to number 15 on the list now
We have now enabled cross posting in all the above accounts and now let us consider your microblogs.
Most people will post micro blog posts, ie 140 character posts at Twitter. However if you wish to automate your micro posts to several other micro blogging platforms here is how to do it.
Rather than creating your 'tweets' on Twitter you can tweet on Ping.fm This will mean that all your tweets get posted to all the accounts set up in Ping.fm.
So go ahead and add:-
15. Identica
16. Plurk
17. Jaiku
18. YouAre
to your Pingfm account.
Now when you post directly to Ping.fm it will post your 'tweets' to every one of your accounts you have set up, ie numbers 8-18.
Finally, don't forget to add
1. Twitter
3. Multiply
5. FriendFeed
to your Ping.fm account too so that your tweets get posted to these sites too.
So here is a Recap on Ping.fm
When you post your Wordpress blog posts they go via Pingpressfm plugin to accounts numbered 8-14 above (1-7are posted via other plugins), 15-18 are micro blogs only so dont support full blog posts.
When you post your tweet posts directly to Ping.fm, these tweets get posted to not only 8- 14 above but also to numbers 1, 3,5, 15-18 as well.
The missing numbers are 2, Live Spaces, 4, SPN Babble, and 6, MyBlogLog. At the current time Ping.fm does not support these accounts. And that is all there is to it!
