It seems the “Powers That Be” at WordPress.com have decided to grant us the ability to use Twitter’s Blackbird Pie feature in our WordPress.com blogs. It’s a pretty simple process, you simply put the URL to the Tweet you want to display on a separate line and then POOF! the tweet just magically appears, formatted the same way you see it on the Twitter site. it even grabs the background.
Here is an example

One tip you WON”T see unless you dig into the comments on that WordPress post: YOu MUST make sure the link is plain text. Wordpress and your Browser may try to “help” you by making the pasted http a link to the page. If that happens, you have to remove the link so WordPress.com sees it as a Twitter link to make into pie…Mmmm…Pie…….
Sorry,I was lost in thought for a second
I wonder what OTHER goodies the “PTB” have for us down the road?
