If you want your web site visitors tweet your own message there is a much better way than tell them to copy and paste it on their twitter home page. You may make a great looking link to click.

Of course you can not trick them to tweet whatever you want as they will still have to click "update" button.
So you have decided to start your first blog? That's great. You are in a right place. There are three ways you should consider if you want to create a new blog. It depends from two things - money you want to invest and tech knowledge that you have.
If you are looking for a solution how to make an automatic copy, backup or synchronized mirror of your files or even a complete website, this article is for you. This solution will copy only new or changed files (incremental copy). So full copy is made only at first run. To make it work you will need ftp or sftp access to server where your files are stored and ssh (or telnet) access to account that you want your files to be mirrored to. To make it work follow this steps:
You may win a free ad spot on my right sidebar. All you have to do is to make a tweet containing my blog url "http://www.kreci.net" (without using shortening url services). I will search and choose one random (or most creative) tweet every month and give you free banner spot for 1 month! You may put any graphic or text ad up to 125x125px (without offensive or adult content).
Additionally this ad will be "Do Follow" for search engine! My site is very well indexed in google so I am sure you will benefit from it. You may click Tweet & WIN link on my right sidebar to make a tweet (use my default or make any other - be creative - just make sure that it will contain my blog URL). Good Luck!
