# [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Too many custom fields!

 * I’ve got twitter tools posting a tweet when a new blog post is saved. It creates
   a custom field ‘aktt_notify_twitter’ initially set to ‘no’. So I write my post,
   and set it to ‘yes’. Save the post, tweet gets sent, new field called ‘aktt_tweeted’
   appears, with value ‘yes’. All good.
 * But next time I save the post, another custom field gets created, also called‘
   aktt_notify_twitter’, and also set to ‘yes’. So I end up with two custom fields,
   both called the same name, and both holding the same value. That can’t be right,
   can it?

 * I’ve susequently discovered that if I publish a post without setting ‘aktt_notify_twitter’
   to ‘yes’ before I click publish, it gets set to ‘no’ and can’t be changed. In
   other words, the tweet only gets sent on the first ‘publish’ and can’t be engaged
   for a post that was initially published without being tweeted.
 * It’s too lumpy and fiddly. I run a multi-user blog, contributors are non techies,
   they could never get their heads around it.
