What was that? You have a Twitter too? (Who _doesn’t_ tweet these days?) So yeah, if you’re here, you probably have a WordPress install as well! Guess what, you’ve just found the collision! Sure, qTwit isn’t the _only_ Twitter widget it out there, but it’s claim-to-fame is that it loads your Tweets on the _client- side_, meaning that it uses the [jQuery plugin by Seaofclouds](http://tweet.seaofclouds.com) to load your tweets. What does this mean for you? Well, several things: * Your tweets are always up-to-date, even with that super-cool caching plugin you just installed! * Your server isn’t coughing up blood from exhaustion loading the tweets by itself all the time! * You can say your blog is **powered by jQuery**, because everybody knows how legit that is. AND, we can’t forget that Seaofclouds threw in some goodies that pass on to you: > * Small size and fast download time. > * Will not slow down or pause your page while Tweets are loading. > * Automatic linking of @replies to users’ Twitter page. > * Automatic linking of URLs. > * Automatic linking of #hashtags, to a Twitter search of all your tags. > * Converts <3 to a CSS styleable ♥. > * Makes awesome text, AWESOME text with AWESOMEIZER. > _– the Seaofclouds webpage_ So there you have it, go ahead and click “Install” now! **If you appreciate this plugin, I ([@kylehotchkiss](http://twitter.com/kylehotchkiss/)) and Seaofclouds ([@seaofclouds](http://twitter.com/seaofclouds/)) would love a tweet saying so!* ## Installation 1. Upload the `qtwit` directory into `/wp-content/plugins/` (Or whereever you store plugins). 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. In the widgets dashboard, add `qTwit` to your sidebar. 4. Don’t forget to add your username, unless you want to what’s going on in _someone elses_ life. 5. Prepare for your Guests to be amazed as each and every one peers into your Twitter life. ## FAQ What’s with the name? ‘q’ is from jQuery (duh), and ‘Twit’ is short for ‘Twitter.’ The lack of space is a total typo, dude. What does the end user see if their Javascript is off? Honestly, if people are too scared to see your website with Javascript on, then they are probably better off not seeing what you post to Twitter! For real though, they get a little message saying they can’t see your epic life story without Javascript. Sorry to my Lynx homeboys, I tried so hard for you! Does it support multiple instances? I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. (I only I have one Twitter account.) I CAN ONLY SHOW 5!?! Yeah, sorry buddy, you have a Twitter URL for a reason! Where are my Tweets? Well, there are a number of reasons they aren’t showing up: 1. Your tweets are hidden! (Well, they’re not just hidden from Twitter, they’re hidden from all your Guests too!) Just unhide them, and bless the world with your thoughts in 140 characters or less! 1. You haven’t posted any updates lately! For some reason, Twitter only returns results within a certain time frame, so if you are tweeting at least once a week, your Guests will see at least one. If you aren’t posting often, why do you need a Twitter widget after all? =P 2. If the above doesn’t help, send me a tweet (([@kylehotchkiss](http://twitter.com/kylehotchkiss/))), and if time allows, I can take a look for you! ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “qTwit (for WordPress)” is open source software.
