So, without telling anybody, Twitter suddenly changed their remote login system to use OAuth instead of Basic Authentication, and my code to do Twitter updates automatically when I post to LGF stopped working.

What? They did tell everyone, repeatedly, that they were going to change it? Oh. OK, my bad.

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to test my new OAuth-based Twitter code. It could also be looked at as an open thread, if this stuff is Greek to you.

If you should ever need to know how to access Twitter from a PHP script, here’s a blog article I found very helpful: Posting from an RSS feed to twitter using OAuth.
