<p>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>.</p>
<p>Live Blogging is a plugin developed to support blogs that are doing live micro<br />
blogging of running events, such as major sport events or tech conferences.<br />
(such as the <a href="http://www.nouse.co.uk/2009/05/10/roses-2009-live-sunday/" rel="nofollow ugc">Roses sporting tournament</a><br />
at the University of York).</p>
<p>Using WordPress 3.0’s custom post types, the plugin allows you to create these<br />
micro blog entries in a stripped down version of the normal post edit screen.<br />
These micro blog entries then get included in a post which has been activated<br />
as the microblog.</p>
<p>By default, the plugin uses AJAX polling to allow your readers to instantly<br />
update what they are viewing, including any new comments posted on the post. For<br />
professional bloggers, Meteor is supported, which gives the smoothest updating<br />
experience for your viewers and also significantly reduces the load on your<br />
server.</p>
<p>Additionally, the plugin also supports integration with Twitter – if activated,<br />
the first 139 characters of each live blog entry will be posted to Twitter when<br />
they are made.</p>
<p>Using this plugin will give you an advantage over your competitors if you’re<br />
blogging from live events – your readers will get updates quicker, and it will<br />
integrate into your blog better than competing systems, such as CoverItLive.</p>

<p>Note: This plugin won’t work on WordPress-instances hosted by WordPress.com.</p>
<p>This plugin integrates the <a href="http://terrifically.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Terrific concept</a> into WordPress and is based on <a href="https://github.com/rogerdudler/terrific-micro" rel="nofollow ugc">Roger Dudler’s Terrific micro</a>.<br />
Views as well as partials were removed from the integration, use WordPress functionality (templates/template parts) instead.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create a new theme or add a structure to your active theme to be able to use Terrific micro in your project</li>
<li>Provides you the option to cache and minify the concatenated styles and scripts for production use</li>
<li>Provides an interface to create new modules and skins based on file templates</li>
<li>Inspect mode to get an overview of the modules on a page</li>
<li>Option to use WordPress’ own jQuery</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>You can render a module in your template files using the ‘module’-function, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code><?php module('TeaserBox'); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>You can provide more parameters to the function to control the output:</p>
<pre><code>module(Module Name, Module Template Name (optional, default: null), Skin Name (optional, default: null), Additional Attributes (optional, default: array()))
</code></pre>
<p>As this function is part of Terrific micro, you’ll find a more detailed description <a href="https://github.com/rogerdudler/terrific-micro" rel="nofollow ugc">on Github</a>.</p>
<p>You can flush the Terrific cache manually as well as start the inspect mode via the admin bar (see screenshot).</p>
<p>The plugin automatically includes WordPress’ own jQuery version as the first script file. You can disable this option in the admin page and include your own jQuery or Zepto version in the assets.json as usual.</p>
<p>There’s not much to know about the integration, I recommend you to let the plugin create a new theme to get an idea on how things could be done.
