How to Auto Publish Blogger Posts to Twitter

Do you want to auto-publish your blogger posts to Twitter? Twitter is s a free online social networking platform which can also bring lot traffic to your Blogger site. In this article, we will show you how to Auto-Publish Blogger Posts to Twitter

Auto Publish Blogger Posts to Twitter using IFTTT

IFTTT better known as IF This Then That. It is a free web service that allows you to connect and organize your different accounts at just one place.

Step#1 Creating a Free Account at IFTTT

The very first thing you need to do is to sign up for IFTTT account.

After creating a account at IFTTT, it will show you how it works. It will ask you to follow few instructions before you can access your IFTTT dashboard.

For example, take a look at the screenshot below:

After following a couple of instructions, it will ask you to select channels that interests you. Since, we are working for Twitter, we will go on to choose it as our channel. But, you need to select two more channels to move on to the next step so select as per your liking and press "Continue".

STEP#2 Creating a New Recipe

Now we need to create a process that IFTTT calls "Recipe", Click on the "My Recipes" link present at the top of the dashboard.

Now click on "Create a Recipe" button and proceed to the next step.

Step#3: Creating the "This" Trigger:

A recipe consists of two things "This" and "That", in the first portion of creating our recipe we will work on "This". It is like if you have a new blog post then it will be published on twitter, or any other social site. So, simply click on the blue "this" link as it is shown in the screenshot below:

Now IFTTT will show you a list of channels that you can connect. It will act as the trigger like if your Blogger blog has a new post then [do something]. So, select Blogger from the list or search it in the search box.

IFTTT will now ask you to connect to your Blogger account, simply click on the "Connect" button to continue.

A window will pop on your screen asking you to verify your Blogger account, follow the instructions and verify your account.

You must be logged in to your Gmail Blogger account before you can verify it. So, make sure you are logged in to the correct account. After logging in, press the "Allow" button to proceed to the next step.

After pressing the "Allow" button, it will show you the list of your Blogger blogs. Select a blog that you would like to use and press "Update".

IFTTT, will not try to connect to Blogger and once it is done it will show you a message that "Blogger is connected successfully". Now, click on Continue to next step’ button.

Now IFTTT will provide you a list or triggers that you can use. You can choose a trigger that fires whenever you publish a new post on your Blogger blog or when you publish a post on Blogger in a specific Label.

Since, we want to publish our all posts so we will choose "Any New Posts" and proceed to the next step.

Step#3: Creating the "That" Trigger:

Now we have completely setup the "This" statement now we need to work on "That" statement, so click on "Create Trigger".

Click on "That" link, in which we will basically define the type of actions that our recipe will perform after you publish a new post on your Blogger account.

Now you will see a huge list of services that you can auto-publish your blogger posts. Since, we are working for Twitter we will choose twitter. However, you can also choose any other social channel as well like Facebook, Google+, Linkden and etc.

Now you need to connect your twitter account so whenever a new post is published on your Blogger Blog, it can also get auto-publish on your connected twitter account.

You just need to authorize the IFTTT App to access your twitter account and publish tweets on your behalf. Simply, press the "Authorize" button.

IFTTT, will not try to connect to Twitter and once it is done it will show you a message that "Twitter is connected successfully. Now, click on Continue to next step’ button.

Now IFTTT, will provide you the number of actions that it can perform whenever a new post is made to your blogger site, either post a tweet, post a tweet with image and etc.

For now, we will choose "Post a Tweet", and move to the next step.

From here you can decided how your tweet will look like. It can hold your Blogger post title, post URL, Image URL, and etc. But tweets are happen to be short so we will go with just post title and post URL. After customizing how your tweet will appear, press "Create Action".

Now we are coming towards ending of our recipe for auto-publish Blogger posts on twitter. Simply, name your recipe and press the "Create Recipe" button to complete the process.

Finally, your recipe is created. Now whenever you will publish a new post on your Blogger blog, it will automatically publish a tweet on your twitter account with the title and URL of that particular post.

You can visit "My recipes" page to see your all list of recipes. You can always edit, stop, or resume any recipe as per your liking.

How to enable Search Description for blog posts in blogger

This post is for people who use Blogger.

It introduces you to the new functionality within Blogger which allows you to write an individual summary descriptions for each of their blog posts.
It also explains how this improves the posts listing by search engines - and may well improve the number of visitors - via search - to your blog too

New functionality within Blogger

Blogger has recently introduced new functionality to its software for blogging. Within the new template there is now a new option to include a meta description for the blog AND each individual blog post.

Meta elements provide information about a given Web page, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly. They are inserted into the HTML document, but are often not directly visible to a user visiting the site.Wikipedia - Meta element

The meta description says what your blog or post is about - but doesnt appear on your blog. However it does appear in the listing for the post in a search engine index.

Various attempts by some to manipulate search engine rankings have led to some meta tags becoming much less influential than they used to be - keywords being a case in point.

However a meta description is still used by search engines, particularly if it accurately reflects the content of the post (eg text or the alt tags on an image)

Why describe your blog post in summary?

Prior to implementation of the new functionality, the snippets used for my blog posts which had been indexed were usually

either the first sentence of the post
or the labels/categories identified for the post.

Ive always suggested that the first 200 characters of a post were the most important - and this is one of the reasons why!

However if YOU create a search description for your blog post, this means YOU - rather than Google or the other search engines - get to define how that post is summarised when indexed by a search engine. You are not left to the tender mercies or whims of the different search engines!

In other words, if you want people to visit your blog YOU can now define the best way of describing your post in Google. For all visits generated by a search, this will improve the chances of people clicking the link in the search results and visiting your blog as a result and finding what they wanted. It may well improve traffic to your blog as a result.

However the description only works to best effect if it accurately describes the content of the blog post eg repeats words used in the text.

How to describe a blog post

There are two stages to this.

The first stage only needs to be done once as it enables the description functionality and sets a description for the blog.
The second stage relates to the description of the blog post and needs to be done for every individual post you want to describe.

Stage 1: Enable the meta description functionality in Blogger

Set the blogs search descriptionHelp users choose to click on your blog in search results by writing a compelling summary of what your blog is all about. Learn more.
Contents of ? button next to "Description"

You should:

view the dashboard of your Blogger blog
Go to "Settings"
Click "search preferences"
Find "Meta Tags". This should indicate the default option - ie the description is disabled.
Click "edit" button re. "Description"
Click "Yes" button to enable search description functionality
Create a meta description for your blog in l50 characters or less. (Use Letter Count - set to the character option if you want to check.) This is the description which will appear on your home page - see example below.
Click save changes button

EXAMPLE: I condensed the strapline beneath the title of Travels with a Sketchbook to create this description which is exactly 150 characters

When I travel, I sketch. When I sketch on my travels I record it here. Plus information about places I visit and links for those who want to know more

Menu of post settings in Blogger
AFTER search description has been enabled
(in Stage 1)

Stage 2: Create a search description in Blogger

In the Blogger Post edit view, you can insert a search description when you create a post or edit it.

To do this, you should:

view your dashboard for your Blogger blog
Go to "posts"
EITHER create a new post OR select a post to edit
View the Post Settings on the right hand side of the edit view. This includes Search description (as illustrated on the right) - but only if you have acted on Stage 1 above. Otherwise the setting is missing.
Click on Search Description and a window box appears
Enter a brief and accurate (meta) description of the post in the window. This will be the text used in a search engine listing.
Try and make sure you use 150 characters of plain text or less (recommended by most reputable sources).
click done

Heres an example - the summary Ive created for this post is shown below in description window

Example of a search description
for an individual Blogger blog post

Once youve done this, your indexed blog post will show up with the correct description. This is the one for yesterdays post

Meta search description for yesterdays blog post

This is also the description which will show up if you promote your blog post on Facebook.

How To Add Default Featured Image To WordPress Posts and Categories

If you publish a post without setting a featured image, an empty box will be displayed next to the post if your WordPress theme supports featured image and has no fallback option.

If you wont want the empty box to be displayed, then you need to set a default fallback image when no featured image is found. This can also be very useful when you forget to set a featured image for your post.

In this article, I will show you how to add a default featured image in WordPress using a plugin.

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Default Featured Image plugin.

Once installed and activated, the plugin adds an option under Settings » Media to choose a default image.

Upload your default image and save settings. This image could be any image, for example an image of your site logo on a plain background.

That’s all.

Now, when your theme looks for a featured image and does not find one, it will display the default image.

If you would like to set a fallback Featured Image based on post category, using this same plugin, read the conditional featured images tutorial.

I hope this helps.
