  • Twitter Integration

    A little tech task I’ve been meaning to get to forever was adding my Tweets to the sidebar.  I was gonna cook up something myself, but stumbled across Twitter Tools.  It was a simple unzip, copy, activate, set some options type of affair.  As a bonus, it also files a tweet when I publish here; …
