Deliver Your Content to LinkedIn with dlvr.it (and also to twitter and Facebook)

Perhaps you have heard that LinkedIn can no longer show your Twitter status updates due to Twitter cracking down on the usage of their API.  Happily I already use the free dlvr.it service to distribute my blog, so I just enabled an additional route directly to LinkedIn. No muss, no fuss.  I used to use another service for distribution, but I found them less reliable.  If you see this post, then I managed to set it up right.   :-)
