   Hi, I checked around but haven't seen an answer to this question, and Twitter support is not very helpful. My twitter handle is @kristinshafel and my blog is http://mylittleheartmelodies.com

   On some other twitter accounts, I see that they have enabled sharing to automatically tweet a newly published blog post. When they do, there appears in the tweet a little preview box, like this one.

   But when I have tried doing this, the media doesn't appear. I even tried copy+pasting the shortlink manually into a new tweet, and I get the same result. Logged out and back in (both twitter and WP), restarted, cleared cache... all same result.

   Am I doing something wrong? Is there a privacy setting I'm missing or need to change? Please help. Thanks!

   The blog I need help with is mylittleheartmelodies.com.

   Thanks, but this doesn't exactly answer my question why the preview for my post doesn't appear in a tweet, like the examples I linked above. I'm not looking for sharing buttons or how to share... just why a preview doesn't appear in my tweet when I publish the post and auto-share on twitter from wordpress.com.

   Unless... are you saying... my friend whose wordpress post appears as a preview in his tweet shows up that way because he added sharing buttons on his blog and then shared it himself on twitter by clicking that button, instead of auto-sharing with publication of the WP post? That auto-sharing on Twitter with publication of a post on WP will not show a preview?

   Thanks!
