N.B. <strong>I just tested this and if you copy the link to the tweet from the twitter user interface you get a url like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/x.com\/johnjohnston\/status\/1751702354888359969?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>you need to change <strong>x<\/strong> to <strong>twitter<\/strong> for that now to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"474\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GlowBlogs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GlowBlogs<\/a> has a new h5p content type: Game Map<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3D2rVQ5oWD\">https:\/\/t.co\/3D2rVQ5oWD<\/a><br>The Game map is a  activity that allows the creation of interactive maps.

As in the example above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the blog post does not have a featured image no image will be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still use some services to auto post tweets, https:\/\/dlvrit.com is still working for me. I presume they pay twitter for the privilege. An image will be posted along with a dlvr.it shortened link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter\/X  keeps changing the goal posts for integration with other systems.
