Who uses WordPress for their Blog… Microsoft!

Bouncing around the place today putting some updates to the Microsoft News App for iPhone and iPad.

One of the big sites for information and news around Microsoft for Mac products is naturally their own website.

What we did find interesting was the blog site on this Microsoft web page:

Is actually running on WordPress.

http://blog.officeformac.com/

Which makes perfect sense to us, as we run the http://www.interactivewebs.com website blog on WordPress too. It really is so good for blogs, that at this time there is nothing better around.

We like it so much that we are recommending it to all our clients as a supportive SEO / SEM tool to bring hits to their site. We have setup our on server environment specifically for blog sites (and can offer hosted WordPress sites).

Just like the fact that good old Microsoft has dumped using their “junk blogs” in favour of a WP site.

Now Auto Tweet Plugin to our WordPress Blog tli.tl Auto Twitter Poster

We have been using the Feed2Tweet plugin on our WordPress blog site at: http://www.interactivewebs.com/blog

We found that in recent weeks, it has stopped posting data when we blogged with the Windows Live Writer plugin that we normally use. So we decided to find a new plugin to take care of the auto tweeting.

We came across the “tli.tl Auto Twitter Poster” plugin. That from all accounts should work well, if only a little delayed.

The post system configures with a Twitter API registration (normal for this sort of thing), and appears to work well.

Note

There are two versions on the plugin, one is listing as version 3.8 (we found that did not work) the other is the 3.8.1 showing as separate plugin. We found this tested fine.
