    I’ve followed the above steps for installation but something doesn’t look right.

    I’m getting the title to pass through but not the url link. Here’s an example:

    Prashant,

    After the settings, you’ll see a checkbox that says “link to blog”, make sure that is checked as that’s what creates the actual linkback using tinyURL.

    I have that selected.

    Wondering if the apostrophe in the title has anything to do with this?
