I’ve been beating my head against a basic technical question for about a week now and have made zero progress on it thus far.  So in keeping with the way I’ve always coped with this sort of thing, I’m going to put pen to paper – in this case fingers to keyboard – and write about the issue in the hopes of realising something I’ve overlooked.
The fundamental objective is to develop a process of capturing a day’s worth of Twitter posts, and auto-posting them in digest form to a Blogger/Blogspot …
