You should make sure you post frequently and add people like me

 

I can. I decided to go ahead and follow you.

 

I don't see your name wwstewart

Confusing

 

Everyone can. You don't have it set to private so anyone that hits your profile can see all of your tweets.

 

any advantage/disadvantage of making page private ??

 

If you only want to tweet with friends and family, you make it private. If you want to use it for marketing your blog, you'll definitely want to leave it public.

You should be able to see me. I sent you a tweet.

 

Keeps the stalkers away.

 

yes, for marketing...

i see your tweet but not as a follower

how can i send direct messages ?

 

one more doubt guys...
how can I automatically tweet my blog post to twitters ?

 

twitter only allows 14 characters for each message.
so how can your blog posted to your twitter message?

 

I thing you meant 140 characters. It's just barely enough to post the link and a catchy little title.

 

yes, I am talking about just posting a link... automatically when I make a post ! ?

 

Yes. It's 140 characters, sorry for my careless.

If you only post links in twitter, your account may get suspended.

Following is rules from twitter help:
