InsideWord Syncher helps promote your blog through InsideWord.com, a blog and news aggregator.

== Description ==

The InsideWord Syncher plugin synchs all your public posts (password protected posts are skipped) to [InsideWord.com](http://www.insideword.com/) to help promote your blog and your content. Future releases of the plugin will provide analytics features with suggestions on what to do to improve your posts to draw more readers.

We'd like to take the time to thank the many users who have downloaded this plugin so. Everyone has been very patient and supportive.

As a side note, we'd also like to mention that although our site can support multiple languages, we'd advise against uploading content with non-latin characters as the site was not tested for this and we cannot guarantee that your character set will transfer over.

== Installation ==

The plugin was built to be as easy to use as possible... which is to say, no setup time, no logins, no options! It just works out of the box. You only need to put the files in the wp-content/plugins directory like any other plugin and then activate it.

For those of you who have never used a plugin before these steps below are provided to help you along.

= Step 1: =
Copy "iwsyncher.php" file and "InsideWordApi" folder into your WordPress server's "plugins" folder. The "plugins" folder can be found in the "wp-content" folder.


= Step 2: =
Go to your WordPress administration webpage. Once there, select the Plugins menu.

If you copied the files to the right folder then you should see the "InsideWordSyncher" in the list of plugins. Now just Activate it!

Once activated that is it! The plugin will automatically connect to and communicate with the InsideWord servers and your posts will automatically be made available on InsideWord.

The upload process can take some time, especially for a WordPress server with 100+ posts, so be patient and don't panic.


= Settings Page: =
The settings page can be found in the Wordpress Settings section. It will be called InsideWordSyncher.

The settings page currently only shows your profile link at InsideWord.com, the category that the posts are being sent to, the current status of the plugin (mostly for debugging purposes) and error messages.
