   Good work Linc!

   No, hence the qualifiers "Icrontic authors" and "using a hashtag"

   9 Apr 2009 ~ 8:06pm Garg Oops, didn't see the "authors" bit.
   
   While I've got your attention, could you add a space between the author name and the content on the front page?

   9 Apr 2009 ~ 8:06pm Linc Yeah, it only monitors the users I select, and it only posts the tweet when you put #ictalk in the post.

    10 Apr 2009 ~ 3:26am MachineDog I'd think it'd be better to keep articles on the front page and have tweets go to the Icrontic Ticker. In addition, are you going to share the plugin?

    At some point, yes. Right now there's some hackery involved; I hard-coded in the authors rather than taking the time to let you assign users to each Twitter feed in the admin panel.

    I figured as much, I'd have done the same thing. Also I imagine adding a setting for the hashtag would need to be done as well, of course.

    No, there's already admin options for the hashtag and which feeds to monitor. It's just the Twitter name -> Wordpress name conversion that's hard-coded.
