LinkedIn And WordPress

LinkedIn has a feature that is perfect for professionals that have a Wordpress blog. Using the "Wordpress Application," you can add your blog feed to your LinkedIn profile. Once you do this, it automatically updates when you post on your blog. This is a great way to keep people in the loop as to what you are doing. It is also a timesaver since you don't have to do it manually once you install it. This is one of several social media services that LinkedIn offers, and you can browse the rest in that area to see if any others might be helpful for you.

To find this feature (and others), go to the "applications" tab on the left-hand side of the page. Locate WordPress and install the application–this only takes a minute. Next, it will take you step-by-step through how to finish adding your blog and then–you are done. Double-check to see that it is installed by clicking on your profile to make sure it is there. This feature helps you use social networking technology to the fullest to promote yourself on the Web. BlogLink is another application that you can use to add a blog to your LinkedIn page.
