Yay! my blog is back. After 3 weeks of databases and domains not talking to each other, I finally worked out what was wrong and fixed it. So now I am back with my little tips and tricks that I pick up along the way

Follow Friday on twitter is where you recommend people you interact with on twitter to other twitter users. Often using the phrase ‘Follow Friday’ or #FF
Back in the summer @NikkiPilkington suggested that people should blog their follow Fridays. Now you are hardly going to follow someone just because I enjoy having a chat with them, you need to know a reason why. Having a variety of blogs means I get to blog my follow Fridays in all sorts of places. It can be very time consuming as I like to hyperlink the twitter names (make them clickable).
If you use a self hosted wordpress site, there is a neat little plugin, but you will have to read my #FF’s before I share 
@anngodridge masterful procrastinator, drinks more coffee than I do Pepsi Max and a writer of crime fiction and other stories. Excellent conversation, witty and considered.
@b1an another writer, and a person who is great fun. Tweets little and often and meets people like Google and LinkedIn for coffee.
@crystalweb Charles is one of life’s nice guys, he works in web design and many are thrilled with his creativeness and the results it gets them, I am lucky he is a friend and now prolific blogger
@balloonbaboon Julie is great, she has sorted out the balloons for my Great Grandmothers 75th Birthday party on short notice and is even delivering them. Her advice was excellent and we look forward to seeing purple and pink foil balloons. If you are in Essex go and meet Julie, she has a product that will get you talked about
@stevenhealey who has wrote a lovely guest blog for me on here, about twitter lists and then I broke the blog before anyone got to see it. In Stratford upon Avon? Have a chat, he is one of life’s optimists so it will be enjoyable someone who truly manages change from within rather than rebelling, it’s an impressive skill.
So the WP plugin… Easy Twitter Links
Let me know what you think and if it will make it faster and easier to blog a follow Friday on twitter.

Brilliant, Sarah… And Nikki too, of course.
It makes much more sense to have a little space to get to know why I might want to follow someone.
And you can be sure I’ll follow your lead, when I get around to it
Okay, blog plugins are on the list for next week…

Thanks Ann
Blog plugins, once you find those… there’s no coming back. Have Ryan keep the coffee coming cos there are some fab ones out there
I found this one by accident looking for a twitterfeed plugin in, and I thought hmmm… does that do what I think it does? and yes, it did.
