New WordPress Plugin – Simple Twitter Data

This post was written 2 years 2 months 24 days days old, so is a bit old now. Feel free to read and comment on this post, just remember some things change with time and any facts in this post may not be accurate anymore.

I’m happy to announce the launch of my latest WordPress plugin – Simple Twitter Data.

This uses the Twitter API to return information about a Twitter user – anything from their profile image to their latest Tweet.

How you wish to use it is up to you – you could display your Twitter profile on your blog using CSS (rather than use one of the JavaScript based “buttons” that are often provided) or use Twitter profile images for commenters (by asking for their Twitter name at the time they make their comment).

And all of this is cached locally for optimum speed.

Full instructions are provided on the plugins dedicated page.
