Abraham,

Thanks. I have an authorization URL being sent over, and it works
correctly with my callback. I just can't wrap my head around how to
post the tweet; everytime I try, even after connecting the app and
user, it denies me.

I've tried many different logic flows than the above. I'd just like to
see an example of something rather streamlined to obtain this goal.

Thank you,
Talasan Nicholson
