Do you like to add tweets to your blog posts? WordPress added the ability to simply paste the tweet link into your post and it will embed the tweet. Blogsy will do the same thing. Check out the steps below to see how to do it.
Official Twitter app method.
1) Open the Twitter app and tap on the tweet you want to use in your blog post.
2) Tap on the arrow out of the box in the top right corner.
3) Tap on “Copy link to Tweet”.
4) Go back to Blogsy and flip to the HTML Side. (We are not sure how the Twitter app is saving the URL but if you try to paste it on the Rich Side in Blogsy it will not paste. This is native iOS functionality so there is some issue with the web view and the way the Twitter app is saving the URL.)
5) Put the cursor on any new line and double tap to get the bubble to appear then tap paste.
6) In your post in Blogsy you will just see the twitter URL but when you post it to your blog it will get converted.

Tweetbot method.
1) Open the Tweetbot app and tap on the tweet you want to use in your blog post.
2) Tap on the “Share” button then tap on “Copy Link to Tweet”.
4) Go back to Blogsy and select a new line where you want the tweet to appear in your post. It has to be on a new line by itself. You can paste on either the Rich Side or HTML Side.

Cool! Looking forward to giving this a try. Really appreciate your dedication to keeping this app fresh with great, new ideas!
Thanks for the comment Mark!
I think this new feature of WP 3.4 is pretty cool and I like using it. I am guessing there are a lot of people that are unaware of this ability so I thought I would share it with them. Now we’ll probably start seeing a lot of blog posts out there with tweets in them. Is that a good thing or not? LOL

Nice. Just one more reason why Blogsy is my favorite app. You guys are amazing! Keep it up.
Hello Art,
Thank you for the comment and nice words. We’re happy to hear you are liking Blogsy!

What if I want the tweet to be a comment? I used “Add tweet as comments” but suddenly they disappeared together with my trackbacks/pingbacks :(
Hello Carro,
Thank you for the comment. I am not sure exactly the steps you are following. And I don’t know if WordPress directly supports “Add tweet as comments”. If you could email us the steps we would like to try it out.
Also, if WordPress does not directly support that you could try to add it to your post like we explain in the How-To Guide item. http://www.fomola.com/blog/want-a-tweet-in-your-blog-post/
Thanks,
Lance

super sprawa, naprawdę wyśmienicie
It’s not working for me. It’s only the link who is appearing.
Hello Jenny,
Thanks for the comment.
Can you provide us with some information so we can figure out why you are having different results?
1) What blogging platform are you using?
2) What version of the blogging platform are you running?
3) Can you send us the embed code you are using?
Please email the answers and information at info@fomola.com
Thanks,
Lance
