A Wordpress plugin that posts a tweet to Twitter when you publish a blog post

== Description ==

TweetMe is a simple Wordpress Plugin that posts a tweet to [Twitter](http://twitter.com/) when you publish a blog post. You decide what format the tweet takes by modifying sample string like below. You have access to 2 special tags **#title#** and **#link#** which are replaced with the post title and the condensed link respectivly, so in the example below:

`New Blog Post: #title# #link#`

would be sent to Twitter as:

`New Blog Post: My wondeful website http://bit.ly/3QFFTt`

That's it, once set you can carry on writing posts as usual, and when you publish it, TweetMe will twitter about it. The link is shortened to around 18 characters using the [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/ "shorten the length of an URL") service. If however you have the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/revcanonical/">revcanonical</a> plugin then it will use the local short url instead. TweetMe adds a custom field to your post called has_tweeted. You can remove this field to allow the post to be tweeted again.
