So the interesting thing about WordPress sites is that, if you are not careful, all of the sudden you end up with a bunch of them and you end-up spending a lot of time maintaining plug-in, theme and system updates..

I have just enabled plug in WP to Twitter so I can auto-issue tweets based on a particular category. Working smoothly. Nice work Joseph Dolson !
