- Here's a quick video that shows how I customized Drummer to turn my latest Twitter rant into a blog post in just 15 seconds. #
- Here's the transcript:#
- Drummer makes it super easy to write new blog posts—you just hit the plus button, and start typing.#
- Let's take one minute with Drumkit, and watch me turn my latest Twitter rant into a blog post in just 15 seconds.#
- Last night I wrote a whole bunch of posts on Twitter. I was ticked. Time to turn those tweets into a blog post.#
- Drummer has a built-in command to get my tweets for me, but it doesn't do exactly what I want. So after I posted my rant, I made my own command, in Drumkit. And now it's in my scripts menu.#
- Not much code there at all. We grab my recent tweets, and reverse the order. Check the date for just the most recent. Clean the text. Insert it into the outline. #
- OK, running out of time. Here goes, Twitter rant to blog post in 15 seconds.#
- I add a new post. Give it a title. Run the command I wrote myself. Delete a couple tweets. And then we publish it.#
- Refresh the page, and there it is.#
- If Drummer doesn't do what you want, try writing some Drumkit!#
