Here are a couple of things I do to link my web site and blog with my twitter accounts. I embed my twitter feed (@richardhamilton) into my website, with a link to the feed. That way, readers of the blog can see the feed and click on a link to go to the page and subscribe. Wordpress makes this easy to do, and I'm sure other common blog software would let you do the same. I have a separate account (@xmlpress) for my publishing imprint, so I can keep personal and business information separate (though I frequently RT between the two). That way, my business website only gets business tweets and my personal blog gets personal tweets. Also, the description in your twitter feed is important. Most folks will look at your description and first page of tweets when they decide whether to follow you. A good description has often made the difference in whether I follow someone or not.
