URL Shortening plugin for Twitter Tools
So I’ve been getting into twitter lately and figured it would be a good addition to my blog considering I’m fairly slack at posting anything here of real importance (this will change I promise). After having a read about I got onto Twitter Tools and all was well with the world.
That was until I noticed the url’s it was outputting taking up all my precious twitter characters. Since twitter tools has the ability to use a URL shortening service and since I couldn’t find one with all my googling (sorry if one exists I was obviously looking with my eyes closed that day) I set about joining it with www.is.gd
After some trial and error, a bit of caffeine and some weird test twits all was working and I was mighty proud of myself.
So now I bring to you the people my little url shortening plugin for twitter tools. I know it works for me and well that’s all that matters so don’t blame me when your blog explodes or something else rather painful happens. Just extract the twittertools_isgd.php file and upload it into your wordpress plugins directory. Then activate the plugin from within wordpress and post a blog of how great you are and marvel at the shortness of your tweets.
You can download the file here.
