Twitter isn’t too shabby…
It took me a while to jump on the bandwagon. Almost every other blogger I know is on Twitter (and has been forever), but I just didn’t see what the big deal was. Well, the last few days I’ve been on a following frenzy and I’m pretty pumped on the results. I’ve already made some new friends/contacts, connected with existing contacts and my list of followers is growing exponentially (I’ve gone from around 15 followers to almost 300 in 24 hours alone - bet I’m at 450+ by the end of the tomorrow, at least that’s my goal…).
I took a few minutes to customize my Twitter page, got it all pimped out and invite you to follow me! I’ll return the gesture.
So, with my newly found fondness of Twitter I decided to find a cool, but unobtrusive widget I could place in my sidebar with my latest tweet that also made it easy for my readers to follow me. I found the snazzy 125×125 you see on the right at TwitterCard.com. It’s by far the simplest widget I found and setting it up was a snap!!!
If you like the card and want one for yourself all you have to do is copy the code below and change xxxx to your Twitter username. It’s that easy.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://twittercard.com/js/xxxx”>
</script>
So now that I’m on Twitter FOLLOW ME (I’m working on becoming the most followed person there! lol… not.)

Gee, thanks
I was having a tough time with the tiled background (Branding? Looks? Branding? Looks? tough call). But like I said it’s pimped out (and aren’t all myspace pages pimped out? 
)

You’ve made it easy for twits to find your blog, and isn’t that the whole enchilada?
Your blog has useful info. I’ve subscribed. Thanks!
