Hello Everyone,
I'm having a little issue that maybe others smarter than me can figure out!!

I have a wordpress self hosted blog setup w/ an RSS Feed setup to autopost news to the blog for most of the content. Each time a new item from the RSS Feed comes it, I have it autoposting to twitter....currently by Twitterfeed. This all works fine, but the link that is generated for my twitter followers links back to the original article (instead of my site first). I would like to bring the visitors to my site, then if they want to look at the article in more detail, they can go from there.

I also tried the WP to Twitter plugin, but it did the same thing. Any suggestions out there to fix this?

Thanks for your help!!
Pete

    You may want to try Twitter API and fiddle with the code yourself. It's usually a quick PHP job, just a few lines of code. You will need 4 API keys assigned to you by creating your own developer account on a Twitter page. After searching on Google for how to do this, I was up and running in about 2 hours. You will need to see if you can do this with the API, although, something tells me you should be. As for me, I simply needed to tweet any message I wanted to Twitter by making a HTTP call from my site. Ex: mysite.com/tweet_something.php?message=hahaha

      Thanks Iriss....I appreciate the reply on this. I will look into this further, but I am worried this may be a bit over my head. Maybe I should hire someone that can fix this issue for me. Anyone have any suggestions on someone that is reasonable for this type of work?
