What can you do with leenk.me? * Publish automatically to your social networks when you publish a new post in WordPress. * Works with Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types. (Requires WP 2.9+ for Posts and 3.0+ for Custom Post Types) * Choose which categories are published automatically. * Exclude individual posts from being published to your social networks. * Automatically post to your social networks when a scheduled post is published. * Resend previously published posts to your social networks. * Additional authors can setup their own leenk.me accounts and add them to your website. * Publish to all author's leenk.me accounts whenever a post is published. * Customize your Tweet format with the custom variables %TITLE%, %URL%, %CATS%, and %TAGS%. * Automatically shorten URLs with [Twitter Friendly Links](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-friendly-links/), if it is installed - otherwise leenk.me uses TinyURL. * Customize your Buzz message for individual posts. * Customize your Facebook post for individual posts. * Customize your LinkedIn shares for individual posts. What sets leenk.me apart from others? * Extremely easy to use and setup, essentially a "set it and forget it" service. * leenk.me uses the most secure APIs available to connect to your social networks. * leenk.me doesn't need to save your social network passwords. * You authorize which applications are connected to your leenk.me account. You will need a [leenk.me API key](http://leenk.me) to use the leenk.me plugin. The basic leenk.me subscription starts at 99 cents every three months with a one month free trial. This small subscription fee is used to maintain the leenk.me server and for continued development/support. Have questions? Contact me through the lenek.me [support](http://leenk.me/contact) form. == Installation == This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload `leenkme` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 1. Create a leenk.me account [here](http://leenk.me) to get a leenk.me API and to set up your social networking options. 1. Update the leenk.me plugin options with your leenk.me API Key and set any plugin options. 1. Next time you publish a new post it will auotomatically be sent to leenk.me and distributed to your social networks. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does leenk.me work with scheduled posts? = Yes, the leenk.me plugin hooks into the schedule-to-publish action that WordPress uses when publishing a scheduled post. = Does leenk.me work with multiple authors? = Yes, just be sure to check the box to Tweet/Publish/Buzz all authors in the leenk.me plugins. = Can I add multiple Twitter/Facebook/Buzz accounts to a single leenk.me account? = Unfortunately this is not possible at this time. If you need multiple of a single social network, you'll need to sign up for another leenk.me account.
