<p>This plugin hopes to make linking to Twitter profiles easier in WordPress posts and pages.</p>
<p>It’s the result of typing Twitter usernames far too often in my blog posts and having to go back and link to them later, typing out http://www.twitter.com/username.</p>
<p>The plugin uses a basic shortcode:</p>
<p>[twitter]</p>
<p>to wrap around Twitter user names.</p>
<p>The plugin will then output the username with a link to their profile, displaying the standard @username format.</p>
<p>In addition, the links can be styled via your sites CSS, using the .twitshort selector.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Once it’s installed a quicktag/button labled “twitter” will display in your post/page edit toolbar. Clicking the link will insert the [twitter] and [/twitter] shortcode into your post/page. Simply insert the Twitter user’s name between the two short codes and the plugin will take care of the rest.</li>
<li>You can also insert the shortcode manually around the Twitter username you wish to link to. </li>
</ol>
<p>Example: [twitter]jdblundell[/twitter]</p>
