## Description

TweetPress is the WordPress Plug-In that gives you total control and ownership of
the photos you post to Twitter, sending traffic back to your own blog, instead of
a third party site.

Currently, when posting photos to Twitter, you must first post them to a 3rd party
service (such as Twitpic) and then post that URL to Twitter. Not only do you lose
control over YOUR image gallery, but you are also sending Twitpic a significant 
amount of traffic that could be sent to your own website.

Just install the plugin, and start posting photos with your favorite Twitter client(
that supports TweetPress).

The current Twitter clients that support Tweetpress are Twittelator Pro and Twitter
for iPhone

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Download the TweetPress plugin for wordpress
 2. Upload it to your wp-content/plugins folder
 3. Activate it in your plugin admin page
 4. Make sure the directory wp-content/uploads is writable (TweetPress will warn you
    if it is not)

## FAQ

  How does TweetPress work?

TweetPress can be used with popular Twitter clients such as [Twittelator Pro](http://stone.com/Twittelator/index.html)

post photos to Twitter and host them on your WordPress blog. It features a full 
API for developers, so any Twitter client can easily integrate with TweetPress.

  Why Should I Use TweetPress?

 1. Full control over the images you post to Twitter
 2. Drive more traffic to your own website rather than some 3rd party site
 3. Customizable image gallery
 4. Maintain the rights to YOUR photos

  Does TweetPress have an API? Where can I find information about interfacing my
application with it?

Yes, TweetPress has a full API so any Twitter client can interface with it. Please
read the API documentation found on [TweetPress’ info page](http://brandontreb.com/tweetpress)
