To make things more complicated, you want to connect your blog to Twitter, not Twitter to your blog. The same goes for Facebook. Confused yet? Thankfully, there’s a simple solution called Twitterfeed.com! As I write this post, more than 2.5 million feeds are connected with this service.  I’m sharing a quick tutorial below…
