Getting Started

Go to your blogs page and scroll down to Channels. You should see an option for enabling Twitter. Click the button.

Twitter will ask whether you want Write.as to access your account. That access allows Write.as to send your posts over to Twitter. You will either be prompted to sign into your Twitter account or to “Agree” if you are already signed on.

Once you agree to grant access, you will be redirected to the blogs page on Write.as. A message should appear that it successfully connected to your Twitter account.

Scroll down to the Channel section again. Now there is your Twitter account as an available channel for distributing your Write.as posts!

Cross-Posting to Twitter

Now that Twitter cross-posting is set up, let's test it out. Open up the editor and write up an anonymous post. When the post is ready, open up the Publish to... drop-down. Below the Anonymous and blog options is one for publishing to your Twitter account.

Click to enable and publish the post.

When you go to the Twitter profile connected to Write.as, the post you just published will be there – either a title (if you added one) or as much of the post that can fit into a tweet, the URL to your post, and the first three hashtags in your post (if you added them).

You will also see that Twitter shows a “card” for your Write.as post. The default is a Write.as icon, but if you include any images in your post (see how to), the first one in your post will appear in the card. Note: this is not available for anonymous posts.

After this, Twitter cross-posting is automatically enabled for any future post you make – no clicking the Twitter option every time. But if you do not want a post to go to Twitter, just go back to the Publish To... dropdown and toggle off the Twitter option. Turn it back on when you feel ready to cross-post again. The free plan allows 3 cross-posts a month. With a Pro subscription you can enjoy unlimited cross-posting.

Don't let a character-limit stop you from fully expressing yourself. Join the conversation without compromise by crossposting from Write.as to Twitter.

Cross-Posting to Tumblr

Now that Tumblr cross-posting is set up, let's test it out. Open up the editor and write a post. It can be anonymous or for one of your blogs. When the post is ready, open up the Publish to... drop-down. Below the Anonymous and blog options is one for publishing to your Tumblr account.

Click to enable and publish the post.

When you go to the Tumblr profile connected to Write.as, the post you just published will be there – a title (if you added one), the body of the post, and all of the tags in your post (if you added them).

If you include any images in your post (see how to), they will appear in the Tumblr post as well. Note: this is not available for anonymous posts.

Getting Started

We will assume you have your Ghost site running. If not, check out their resource guide for setting up one. Within the admin panel of your Ghost site, click Integrations. From there, click the bottom option of adding a custom integration.

Add a name to the integration and then click Create. From there it will redirect you to the Write.as integration details.

You will need two things: the Admin API key and the API URL. Open up a window for your blogs page and scroll down to Channels. You should see an option for enabling Ghost. Click the button.

Write.as will ask for your Admin API Key and API URL (called “Ghost Instance URL” in the form). Copy and paste those values into the form and click Connect.

When you go back to the blogs page, the Ghost integration should now appear under Channels listed as your Ghost blog's URL.

Cross-Posting to Ghost

Now that cross-posting to your Ghost site is set up, let's test it out. Open up the editor and write up a post, whether anonymous or for one of your blogs. When the post is ready, open up the Publish to... drop-down. Below the Anonymous and blog options is one for publishing to your Ghost site.

Click to enable and publish the post.

When you go to the Ghost site connected to Write.as, the post you just published will be there – a title (if there is none it will be called “Untitled”), the body of the post, and images (if you added them). At the time of publication, hashtags are unsupported.

After this, Ghost cross-posting is automatically enabled for any future post you make – no clicking the Ghost option every time. But if you do not want a post to go to your Ghost instance, just return to the Publish To... dropdown and toggle off the Ghost option. Turn it back on when you feel ready to cross-post again. The free plan allows 3 cross-posts a month. With a Pro subscription you can enjoy unlimited cross-posting.

We believe you should be able to write freely and syndicate freely. Take your writing to a place where you can take full advantage of modern online publications with cross-posting to Ghost.
