http://www.minorforces.net Just another minor force on an overpopulated internet Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:22:07 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.minorforces.net/2008/09/25/epic-fail/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=epic-fail http://www.minorforces.net/2008/09/25/epic-fail/#comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:02:46 +0000 Megami http://www.minorforces.net/?p=111 Well this has not worked out exactly how i had expected.  I know i have not been posting to my blog all that often as of late (ok, i mean as of “ever”) but i have started to twitter a bit.  not a ton, but some.  So i thought i would look up some plugins for wordpress that pulled my tweets down and also sent any actual posts up to twitter.  What i failed to take into account was that as of recently a large number of my tweets have been auto generated by Raptr.  Also was the fact that most of my tweets don’t make a lick of sense out of context.  So when Twitter Tools pulled all my tweets down it really mangled my front page.  Don’t get me wrong the plugin does behave exacatly as the author intended, and it would have rendered much better results if i were better at actually posting to my blog.  but when the front page turns into nothing but a page full of disjointed tweets (here is a screenshot of what that looked like) and no “real” (i use that word loosely) content it is not so useful.  So i guess i am now on the hunt for another way to tie the 2 together.  I will still use Twitter tools to update twitter when i post to my blog, so thats something at least.
