WordTwit is a WordPress plugin that auto tweets a blogger’s Twitter followers whenever he releases a new blog post. A great time saving idea for those of us who use social bookmarking and social media as part of our traffic generation regimen.
At least it would be a good idea were it not for the error messages it spits out whenever posts are published. those error messages look like these

and,
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at…
After a bit of Googling I found a solution:
- find your servers php.ini file and add the line
safe_mode = Off
to it
Alternatively, use another plugin to send your social media broadcasts. There’s a plugin called Shorten2Ping which automatically posts updates not only to Twitter but also to ping.fm.
Be careful when using this type of tool. Over doing it could get you a reputation for spamming.
