Note

I’m done with this. If someone wants to maintain it send me a note and I’ll transfer the repo. Or just fork it, or whatever.

Installation

Extract the contents of the plugin in your “wordpress/wp-content/plugins/” directory
The four Micro-blog Tools plugins components should now appear in your list of plugins:

• Micro-blog Tools
• Micro-blog Tools – Bit.ly URLs
• Micro-blog Tools – Exclude Category
• Micro-blog Tools – Hashtags

The only one you need to activate is the first one: “Micro-blog Tools”.
The others are optional and act like add-ons.

Connecting to your micro-blog

After activating the Micro-blog Tools plugin, you need to connect it to your micro-blog.
To do that, you can use the new menu item called “Micro-blog Tools settings” under “Settings” in your left navigation.
On the “Connect” page, select your micro-blog provider (Twitter, Identi.ca or StatusNet)

Twitter and Identi.ca

1. After clicking the Twitter or Identi.ca button, you will be redirected to your micro-blog provider.
2. Log in if necessary
3. Simply click “Allow” to connect Micro-blog Tools to your micro-blog.

StatusNet

1. Enter the domain name of your StatusNet provider (ex: http://chimo.status.net/)
2. Click the StatusNet button, you will be redirected to your StatusNet provider.
3. Log in if necessary
4. Simply click “Allow” to connect Micro-blog Tools to your micro-blog.

You will then be redirected to the configuration page where you’ll be able to change your settings, if desired.
