Twitpress plugin now officially supports permalinks

After my own attempts at hacking together a solution, it turns out Thomas Purnell has gone ahead and done a proper update to his Twitpress plugin, making it work where I hadn’t bothered to (yet.) Primarily, he added in some checks to make sure the POST was completed to the database prior to sending the tweet, an issue which was causing me all kinds of aggravation and one I really had no desire to dive into.
As I discuss in my previous post, the ability to have a post here automatically propagate out to my Twitter feed and to Facebook is fantastic, and with Twitpress handling permalinks properly it’s a done deal. Potentially nefarious SEO uses notwithstanding (grin), I’m mighty pleased by this.
Thanks Tom!
Also, I’m on vacation for a week starting tomorrow, and while I have several things in draft mode, nothing is ready to be auto-publishing while I’m away…though I may post-date one or two things.
