Daily Blogger Post of All my Twitters

May 1, 2008 8:36 PM

Is there a way to automate a daily post to a blogger blog with all my twitter posts of the last 24 hours?

I have searched and found a bunch of ways to install a widget/badge to my blogspot blog that will be constantly updated with all of my daily twitters, but that is not what I am looking for.

I would also like there to be an automatic post to the blog itself each day that includes all of the twitters. Can blogger do this in any sort of automated fashion?

It seems there are plenty of solutions on wordpress, but none for blogger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Response by poster: By the way, I want them all together... I understand it should be easy to get each individual twitter post also added as a separate blogspot post, but I want all of them from the day in one post.

there's an option for it in twitter - for an automatic daily post with all the twitters. But uh, twitter's down right now so I can't link you to it. It's in the settings area, though.

Example: click here (NSFWish, kinda)

I just remembered that the area you go to in order to select getting the twitters posted individually is the same one you go to switch it to dailies. If twitter gets back online before my bedtime, I'll try it for you and post back.

Best answer: LoudTwitter

Response by poster: Got LoudTwitter set up... looks like exactly what I was looking for, and tomorrow morn' if it does what it's supposed to, I'll be all set.

If it doesn't work, I'll post here and try twitters own solution...

I set up LoudTwitter to post to my LJ and it never worked. Does anyone have any ideas?

For LoudTwitter to post to your LJ, you have to set LJ to allow posts from the LoudTwitter address (which is something like noreply@loudtwitter. They have it on the page there where you do your settings). There is an area in LJ in the post-by-email settings to allow certain email addresses. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, IT WON'T WORK. Then you have to use your lj name + pin to "post by email" when you set up LoudTwitter.

krisjohn: Also, if your twitter updates are "hidden" from the public timeline, they won't show up on your LJ. Mine didn't work at first, and that's what resolved it. I had to make my twitters public again.
