# Tip: Automatically Push Your Latest Blog Posts Across Twitter
It's generally a poor practice to use Twitter *only *to syndicate your RSS feed. But having some information on Twitter is better than nothing. Here's a simple way to automatically set up Twitter to publish your latest blog posts:

- Make sure you're routing your RSS feed through [Feedburner](https://feedburner.google.com). This isn't essential, but you'll kick yourself later if you neglect Feedburner, since you'll have no ability to track your followers (nor change your feed if you change domains).

- Sign up for [Twitter](https://twitter.com), of course.

- Go to [Twitterfeed.com](http://twitterfeed.com). To get through the Twitterfeed door, you need an open ID (because they're too cool for regular username and password signup). The [myvidoop](https://myvidoop.com/) open ID service is most amusing, as it allows you to has you choose images as passwords. However, if you already have a Yahoo login, use that.

- Click the **Create New Feed **link in Twitterfeed's simple interface.
