I found a plugin that posts blog posts/updates to your Twitter account, but it used the full URL in the link. I modified it to shorten the URL using bit.ly
This is the first post.

I’ve been hanging my jackets and coats on the back of my kitchen chairs for the past few months, and I’ve accumulated quite the collection downstairs.
