If you also use WordPress for your blog and wish there was a way to automatically send new posts to Tarpipe, then you are in luck! I just wrote a plugin for WordPress that will do just that.

[UPDATE] I should mention that you need to have curl enabled for your php installation in order for this plugin to work.

I’ve been using your plugin for a few weeks now and I’ve noticed that if I edit a post, it re-tweets the edit. Is there a way to change this behaviour?
@Dave Naylor: edits are treated as new posts by design. I can take a look and see how I can make that configurable.
