Now I can use the <a href=\"http:\/\/rick.jinlabs.com\/code\/twitter\/\" title=\"Twitter for WordPress\">Twitter for WordPress<\/a> plugin to display the latest posts from my two microblogs on the home page of this blog.  <\/p>\n<p>Yes, <i>two<\/i> microblogs &#8211; <lj-cut><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/BookTrail\" title=\"BookTrail home page.\">BookTrail<\/a>, the one I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncharted-worlds.org\/blog\/2010\/06\/booktrail-microblog\/\" title=\"Earlier short article by me, explaining the BookTrail microblog.\">invented in the summer<\/a>, and its sister <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/LinkyTrail\" title=\"LinkyTrail home page.\">LinkyTrail<\/a>.  I&nbsp;decided I&nbsp;wanted to keep the BookTrail one only for books, so the latter is (as you might guess from the name) for online stuff.  <\/p>\n<p>So far, I&#8217;ve been pretty systematic in noting books which I thought were worth a mention.  I&#8217;m a bit more erratic with the linky one &#8211; sometimes I read great stuff and never get around to linking to it.  <\/p>\n<p>I like having the microblogs on the front page.  I&nbsp;think it makes the front page feel kind of &#8220;richer&#8221;, and a bit more representative of what I&#8217;m into at any given time.  <\/p>\n<p>I could have added the same thing to all the other pages too, but I&#8217;m not sure that&#8217;s a good idea.
