Based on twitpress by Tom Purnell. Adds the ability to choose which category will result in updates to your twitter account.<\/p>\n\n

TwitCategory sends a tweet notifying your followers that a new post has been published on your blog. It is very customizable, allowing you to format the tweets using static text and several variables: title, post, permalink, guid and category name.<\/p>\n\n

New versions also allow for URL shortening via tinyurl, isgd and bitly!<\/p>\n\n

Upgrading<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  1. Click update from the WordPress plugin menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    or<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Click 'Download' on this page.<\/li>\n
    2. Deactivate the twitcategory plugin through the Plugins menu in Wordpress Admin.<\/li>\n
    3. Upload twitcategory.php to your \/wp-content\/plugins directory, overwriting the previous version.<\/li>\n
    4. Fill in your twitter account information (be sure to re-enter your password), using the twitcategory configuration menu found in Wordpress Admin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      From wordpress admin screen<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      1. Choose 'Plugins > Add New'.<\/li>\n
      2. Search for 'twitcategory' and install! <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        From this page<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        1. Click 'Download'<\/li>\n
        2. Upload twitcategory.php to your \/wp-content\/plugins directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          Remember to:<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          1. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in Wordpress Admin (you may need to be using a wordpress administrator account for this action). Please note that TwitCategory will create a table in your wordpress database called 'twitcategory'. It will clobber any previous table with that name.<\/li>\n
          2. Fill in your twitter account information in the twitcategory configuration menu found in the Manage menu in Wordpress Admin.<\/li>\n
          3. Rate and give feedback on http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/twitcategory\/<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            How is this different then Twitpress?<\/dt>\n
              \n
            1. Twitpress tweets all posts. In TwitCategory you can choose \"All Posts\" or a single category from which to tweet. Posts that are not in the specified category won't result in a tweet.<\/li>\n
            2. I changed the [permalink] variable to actually show that permalink as defined in your administrator settings (it used to show guid).<\/li>\n
            3. There are also a few new variables that you can use to modify your tweet: [guid] which shows the shorter guid link. [category] which displays the selected category. [post] which adds the post content to the remaining space.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
              I installed twitcategory and clicked activate, but my blog entries aren't being twittered!<\/dt>\n

              Unfortunately twitcategory is not psychic. You need to configure your twitter username and password from the TwitCategory menu in the wordpress 'manage' menu<\/p><\/dd>\n

              What is that extra junk for bitly?<\/dt>\n

              Bitly requires a user name and API key. Go to http:\/\/bit.ly\/account\/register to set up an account. Your key can be found under 'account'.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

              0.1.9<\/h4>\n\n

              Added functionality: Shorten with Bitly!<\/p>\n\n

              0.1.8<\/h4>\n\n

              Added functionality: URL Shorten & Post<\/p>\n\n

              0.1.7<\/h4>\n\n

              Stable version. Seems to work very well. Let me know if you find problems.<\/p>\n\n

              0.1.6<\/h4>\n\n
