About StatusNet Widget
From the official readme · v0.5Description
This widget aims to provide an easy integration of your StatusNet (identi.ca)
timelines into your WordPress.
It can also be used to display timelines for tags or groups.
You can provide multiple sources (= links to your profiles at identi.ca or your
own StatusNet installation), which will get fetched, merged (if you want
it to do so, like when you are posting the same content to multiple StatusNet
sites) and displayed in your sidebar (with #hashtag, !group and @people links).
Installation
- Upload the
statusnet-widgetdirectory to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Add the Widget in the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress
- ‘Merge Mode’ means duplicate statuses will be ignored
- ‘Prefer content with markup’ means the markup delivered by StatusNet etc will be used instead of parsing the message for @users, #tags, !groups and links ourself.
- ‘Source List’ should contain one source per line
(where source is something like http://identi.ca/evgeni)
