Live Blogging is a plugin that allows you to insert micro/live blogs into posts with automatic updating of the content.
Note: I am not really a good coder. More like a copy-paste hacker. I keep this plugin updated, but adding functionality and such may not be so prompt – if at all it happens. I am mostly updating this to include bugfixes.
Special thanks to <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/users/willjw/" rel="ugc">Will Woodward</a> for bugfixes offered in the support section.
This plugin is based on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-blogging/" rel="ugc">Live Blogging plugin by Chris Northwood</a>. Fixes some outdated code and allows adding links to the live blog in Twitter updates.
To see this plugin in use, it’s probably easiest to watch <a href="http://www.pling.org.uk/static/Live_Blogging_for_WordPress_2.0.swf" rel="nofollow ugc">this screencast</a>.
Live Blogging is a plugin developed to support blogs that are doing live micro blogging of running events.
Using WordPress 3.0’s custom post types, the plugin allows you to create these micro blog entries in a stripped down version of the normal post edit screen. These micro blog entries then get included in a post which has been activated as the microblog.
By default, the plugin uses AJAX polling to allow your readers to instantly update what they are viewing, including any new comments posted on the post. For professional bloggers, Meteor is supported, which gives the smoothest updating experience for your viewers and also significantly reduces the load on your server. (Note: This meteor part of the code has not been updated since the original. I don’t know how well it will work now.)
Additionally, the plugin also supports integration with Twitter – if activated, the first 239 characters of each live blog entry (including permalink to live blog page) will be posted to Twitter when they are made.
Using this plugin will give you an advantage over your competitors if you’re blogging from live events – your readers will get updates quicker, and it will integrate into your blog better than competing systems, such as CoverItLive.

Spread the news in shortest possible way. Use links to refer subjective data and title to concise it, a short excerpt of that news will be added with it to let user know what that news is about.
Don’t you hate it when you want to publish something new that you have recently heard or read somewhere and you don’t have enough time to write about the same topic again? When you can complete your message in a single sentence then why to write whole page without any sense?
For this, “Kush Micro News” comes to rescue. You just have to put title, little description of 1-2 lines and a reference link. Thats it!
All this data will not be published as posts in your wordpress because of which Google will not point you out for incomplete/less content on pages. 
A separate table will be created while installing plugin which stores all your wordpress micro news. Advised to add in sidebar or small block, because thats how it is styled in css. No separate page will be created of micro news you are going to post, to avoid unnecessary cluttering of content.
Updates Coming soon !
How much better can a plugin be? Wait there is more :
<ul>
<li>You can add new news from your wordpress panel with easy GUI interface.</li>
<li>Edit/Delete old news if you have messed up something.</li>
<li>It is already styled with cool rainbow like colors(not kidding).</li>
<li>Can be installed anywhere, but looks good in sidebar.</li>
<li>Comes with widget, can be placed where you like.</li>
<li>Colors of text and title can be changed from settings.</li>
<li>Shortcode to output news in post and pages.</li>
<li>Developed and maintained by a single guy, so be kind while reporting bugs and don’t forget to rate. Thats it!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
In settings section you have multiple choices to opt, each of them serve a purpose which are :
<ul>
<li>
Number of news to display — 
The number of micro news which is going to be displayed on output. This can be manually given in function too : For eg – kush_micro_news_output(5);
</li>
<li>
Enable Colorful Borders — 
Uused to enable and disable borders comes on the left side of each news.
</li>
<li>
Enable link hover effect — 
Enable and disable hover effect comes over Refer Link.
</li>
<li>
Text and Title color — 
You can change the color of news text and title from available options but if you want to add your own then use hexadecimal format. Eg. #E2E2E2
</li>
<li>
Allow HTML parsing while adding news — 
This enable and disable HTML parsing when you are going to add new news or update an old one. If the box is checked, then all html tags will be parsed as DOM. But if it is disabled then HTML tags will treat as HTML entities. Try not to use improper markup if HTML parsing is enabled otherwise it could break up your whole site. 
Note: Also avoid using heading tags in title, because it will overide my default heading tag and mess up markup. 
Note: When HTML parsing is disabled, any new line or line break will be converted to tag automatically. When you try to edit this news, you will see tags along with excerpt. To make them work, enable HTML parsing again just before updating.
</li>
<li>
Access — 
Sites with multiple type of user access, i.e. administrator and editor, can use plugin. Once administrator enables this option, editors has full control over the plugin posts as well as settings.
</li>
<li>
Styling — 
If you want to customize the look of this plugin, feel free to do so by editing CSS file present in “assets/css/style.css”. For now you have to do it manually, later i will add GUI interface of customizing it.
</li>
</ul>
