How to Embed Tweet Box With WordPress Plug-ins
Twitter Tools and Tweetable are WordPress plug-ins that embed a tweet box in the administrative panel or on the sidebar of your blog, enabling you to quickly and easily post updates to your Twitter feed. They can also be configured to automatically tweet new blog entries that you post to WordPress. No matter which plug-in you choose, configuration takes only a few minutes.
