Publicising Updates To Your Blog, Using FeedBurner And Twitter

If you publish both a FeedBurner blog feed and a Twitter feed, and you have people Following your Twitter feed, then you have a ready audience for your blog updates.

At your option, FeedBurner now publishes directly to Twitter. All that you need to do is to allow Twitter to access your FeedBurner feed - from your blog, or from any other feed that you publish.

For any FeedBurner feed that you wish to publicise, go to the Publicize tab, and the Socialize menu entry.
Connect your feed to the real-time social web! With Socialize, FeedBurner will automatically post updates from your feed to your social media account.

If this is your first FeedBurner feed being Socialized, you'll have to hit the "Add a Twitter account" button, and login to Twitter and / or authorise your Twitter account to access your FeedBurner account.

With a Twitter account connected to FeedBurner, check and update your Formatting Options and Item Selection settings. Examine the Sample Item Preview, and decide whether the Preview provides a good example of your blog. Then, hit the Activate button, at the very bottom.

As an alternative to FeedBurner, you can use the third party DeliverIt service, to publish to both FaceBook and Twitter.

Finally, get back to work publishing blog posts. And, enjoy the convenience of automated publishing to an additional blog service.

Ana,

I think I'll suggest that you post in FeedBurner Help, at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/publicity-tools.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
