If you regularly post your blog posts to Twitter and Facebook, why not automate it? Twitter Feed will take your RSS feed, visit it every 30 minutes or so, find updates and automatically post them to Twitter and/or Facebook for you.

You can customize it to post just the title, the description or both. You can even include a thumbnail image on Facebook.

It’s easy to setup and maintain and can save you time, especially if you blog regularly.

Today’s Tutorial Tuesday post walks you through the steps to setup Twitter Feed. Before you start, you need to have an RSS feed already setup, as well as a Twitter account and a Facebook account that you’re logged into.

To find your RSS feed, look for the symbol (as pictured above) on your blog, or find it in the WordPress “Meta” links (along with your Site Admin link).

Step 1: Go to http://www.twitterfeed.com. Click “Register” to begin the setup process.

Step 2: Complete the Registration Form

Fill out your email and password, then click “Create Account.”

Step 3: Enter Your RSS Feed

You’ll immediately begin the setup process. Enter your RSS feed into the box.

Step 4: Advanced Settings (Optional)

Click the “Advanced Settings” dropdown box to change the update frequency, sorting, level of detail to each post and so on. Click Step 2 when finished.

Step 5: Select Service, Twitter

Select whichever service you want to link to your RSS feed. Here we’ll start with Twitter, then show Facebook.

Step 6: Authenticate Twitter

Click the “Authenticate Twitter” button to verify that you’re the owner of the account.

If you’re already logged in, Twitter will prompt you with an authorization box.

Once authenticated, click “Create Service” to continue.

Step 7: Select Service, Facebook

If you just want to connect Twitter, then just click “All Done!” instead. If you want to add Facebook as well however, click on Facebook to repeat the process.

Step 8: Authenticate Facebook

Facebook will go through a similar process. Click “Connect with Facebook” to begin.

Click on “Allow” to grant TwitterFeed permission to post to your wall and pages.

Finally, select which page or wall you want Facebook to post to, then click Create Service.

If you want to post to multiple Facebook pages, create another RSS link.

Step 9: Complete Setup

Click on “All Done!” on the services page once both Twitter and Facebook are setup.

Finally, your setup completion page will be displayed.

Congratulations! Any time you post a blog post, within about 30 minutes Twitter Feed will read the post and post it on your Facebook page/wall as well as your Twitter feed. It’s that easy!
