One comment

I initially had a problem with the Tweetily plugin, specifically there seemed to be an issue with connecting Tweetily and Twitter. UPDATE: I contacted the plugin author and he kindly suggested that I Reset Settings in Tweetily, in conjunction with other steps, that suggestion eventually worked for me. I have updated the steps below to reflect the new information 🙂 @jdhodges can you try and click the reset settings button and then authorize again? — Flavio Martins (@flavmartins) June 18, 2013 Updated
