Simple microblogging WordPress Plugin
Add a microblog to your site; display the microposts in a widget or using a shortcode.
This simple plugin allows you to easily post short messages such as thoughts and updates. These messages will not appear in your stream of posts; instead you can display them in a widget in yours sidebar. You can also display them in any post or page by using the [microblog] shortcode.
To get started, just look for the new Microposts administration panel in your dashboard. Click Add new and then compose a short message in the same way that you normally compose your posts. If you give the micropost a title, then it will be displayed in bold and used as the first few words of the micropost.
Then, either add the widget to your sidebar or add the [microblog] shortcode into your site, and that's it!
The [microblog] shortcode supports several options:
num: The numbe
microblog
microblogging
micropost
tweet
