Hat Tip to Darren Rowse, his commentors and Chris Brogan
Tip of the Hat Alert!
I’d like to publicly thank Darren Rowse, his commentors and his guest poster Chris Brogan for the article How I Use Twitter to Promote My Blog.
I’ve been following Darren now since I got into pro blogging; super super resources the man has to offer. I especially like his ‘Featured Post’ layout, and decided to implement that on my site - finished it this morning.
As a guest blogger on Darren’s site, Chris wrote:

I’ve turned off my auto-twitter posting on some of my blogs so I can manually do that.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
