How to Import Tumblr to WordPress

@jiiigsaw on Twitter asked: “so now that i have this domain, do i install wordpress & import my old tumblr entries, set up tumblr with my new domain, or something else?”

I saw your question on search.twitter.com and thought I could help.  Now that you have a domain name, I suggest installing WordPress on the domain and import your Tumblr posts.   You’ll rank better in the search engines, have more control over your blog and not have to worry about additional terms of service rules with Tumblr.

Here’s a tool to help you export Tumblr to WordPress:  Tumblr to WordPress Export Tool’

How to Add a Twitter Status Box to WordPress

@AndersonCutting asked us ( @wordpresshelp ):

Question: “Is there a way to add the twitter box to my wordpress blog…?? just a twitter box that shows my recent updates.”

Hello Anderson!  Yes, there is… there are several ways, in fact.  The easiest way is to add one of the badges created by Twitter.  You can customize and get the code for them here.

You can also try installing a WordPress plugin such as this one called Twitter for WordPress.

Hope this helps… if you’re still stuck, please leave a comment below.
