# Integrating with Micro.blog

For many writers, publishing on the web means participating in the open web and IndieWeb ecosystems. Marked Share includes native integration with [Micro.blog](https://micro.blog), letting you cross-post documents directly from your library.

## Connecting Your Micro.blog Account

Connecting Micro.blog takes just a few seconds:

1. Navigate to **Settings → Micro.blog** on Marked Share.
2. Paste in your **Micro.blog App Token** (generated from your Micro.blog Account settings).
3. Choose your default publishing format:
   - **Full Text:** Posts the entire document body as a standard blog entry.
   - **Excerpt:** Posts the title, a generated summary, and a direct link back to your canonical Marked Share document.
4. Save your token. Marked Share verifies the token and links your `@username`.

## Publishing from Marked Share

Once connected, publishing to Micro.blog is available directly from the document toolbar and share dialog:

- Click **Publish to Micro.blog** on any document you own.
- Choose whether this specific post should be sent as **Full Text** or **Excerpt**.
- Submit the form. Marked Share formats the post, issues the Micropub request, and stores the resulting Micro.blog post URL.

## Automatic Feeds and Discovery

Once published, your document displays a direct badge link to the Micro.blog post. If you are running a public Marked Share collection as a blog, changes also ping relevant endpoints to ensure feed readers and subscribers receive updates immediately.

Cross-posting long-form drafts or short notes to your personal Micro.blog timeline has never been easier.
