Now using @IFTTT

I have now setup @IFTTT at https://ifttt.com/explore for automatically creating a tweet here, whenever I write a new post on this my blog.  Works great! I configured two kinds of tweets: 

  • One general tweet like this, where only the link to the post is shown. 
  • And one tweet where the whole post is shown, when @IFTTT is used as a label. That post must be relatively short, to fit into one single tweet.
So also in the blog here I am using the tags with preceding @ or #, so that they can be shown properly on X.

One problem is that if the label @IFTTT is used, there are two tweets sent: the standard one, and the one with the full posting. This is because IFTTT does not have a way of doing something when a label is not there.
