A New Way to Publish Your Blog Posts Simultaneously as Twitter Threads

A thread (that came from a blog post!) âŹ‡ïž

Publishing WordPress content on Twitter just got a whole lot easier. You can already bring single Tweets or threads, also known as Tweetstorms, over from Twitter to WordPress (
https://t.co/z7r1opqORx), and now we’re bringing the process full circle.

With just two extra clicks, you can transform your entire blog post into a Twitter thread. By publishing your quality content on Twitter, you can open new lines of engagement and conversation.


When you share a WordPress post as a Twitter thread, nothing is left behind: Text, images, video, and embeds will be inserted into the thread right where they’re supposed to be.


We know that Twitter threads work best without breaks and other quirks. That’s why, in building this feature, we paid special attention to formatting. If a paragraph is too long for a single Tweet, for instance, it will automatically be split into multiple Tweets.
As a mechanical engineer who is also a writer, this sort of thing makes no sense to me. Life isn’t an either or, and it hasn’t been like that for a while. Rather than putting science against the arts, perhaps thinking about creating an economy that works for us all? would be nice


Plus let’s be honest here. Im a technical person and have flirted w getting into cyber for ages, but the things I love about mech engineer are not actually in cyber. I don’t want to do PEN tests for banks all my Life. Its not quite being in a workshop, or living on a rig -

There’s a bigger question here about what the point of all this is. Encouraging people to explore different jobs is great. But are we talking about quality of work / Life? Have we thought about whether these environments are welcoming or hostile? What energy are we putting into

Changing the structures of these industries? Do you know depressing it is going into work with people who think who you are isn’t of value? No amount of money is worth it for everyone

I’ve gone off on a tangent. But it’s taken me a long time (and I’m still working on it) to unlearn the ‘undervaluing’ of the arts that I grew up with, and stuff like this doesn’t help, and makes me sad. Because we should be better.
