But keep in mind that Twitter, unlike the classic RSS-feed it sometimes resembles, is a social experience.
So everytime you post a blog you should add a personal message and some relevant hashtags.
After all, your blog is personal too.
And the relevant hashtags allow your tweet and blog post to find a new audience.
Dont just treat Twitter like a RSS-feed where people can reply.
Treat people like real people.
Even if they already read it two weeks ago, they may want to read it again now.
And its bound to attract some new people.

Just go toFacebook.com/pagesand click Create a page.

it’s possible for you to even ask your readers for more general site feedback.
Dont change that vision just for social media promotion.
