== Installation ==

The installation of Dingshow is as simple as slicing bread:


1. Upload the folder 'dingshow' into the plugin-folder of Wordpress.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress


= Configuration & Usage =
There a two ways of integrating dingshow into your Blog:

**1. the dingshow-widget**

Using the widget is the most simple and elegant way of integrating your microbloggingentries into your blog. To do so, add the widget via 'presentation->widgets' to your sidebar, and configure it in the dingshow-menu, which is a submenu of Wordpress' 'Options'-Page.

**2. the dingshow-themetag**
Alernatively you can use a theme-tag, whichs allows you to show the plugin not only in the sidebar, but anywhere on your blog. In order to use the theme-tag you need to edit your themefiles, and add the following code at the places you want dingshow to be seen:

`<?php
if (function_exists('dingshow_showdings'))
{
    dingshow_showdings();
}
?>`

To configure it, go to 'Options->Dingshow'.
