Since discovering the BackType Connect plugin for wordpress and playing with the code for their TweetCount plugin I have found many other ‘Tweet’ centric widgets that can display tweets in the sidebar.
While deciding which plugin to use on Customer sites I came across TweetSute and TweetBacks by Yoast, all came with widgets to show the ‘Most Tweeted Posts‘ So I decided to try and write my first wordpress widget from scratch.
Options include
The ability to select a Title for the Widget [default is Most Tweeted Posts]
Enter the number of Posts to show [default is 5]
Select which category to select posts from [default is all]
Note:
This plugin requires BackType Connect to be installed and active
This is my first wordpress widget so if you have any suggestions to improve it, please let me know.
