Shows the latest tweets from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget.

== Description ==
This plugin displays the latest posts from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget. 
Easy customization of number of posts shown and replies detection.


= Bad news = 
This plugin is based on Twitter API version 1, that will be deleted on March 2013. 
Unfortunately the new Twitter API, version 1.1, is based on a more closed approach, 
so it won't be possible anymore for us to provide any "really simple" Twitter widget for WordPress.

== Installation ==
Best is to install directly from WordPress. If manual installation is required, please make sure to put all of the plugin files in a folder named `really-simple-twitter-widget` (not two nested folders) in the plugin directory, then activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions == 

= Does the widget show my tweets in real time? =
Yes they're shown in real time, although you have to refresh the page for them to appear.

= How can I modify the styles? =

The plugin follows the standard rules for "ul" and "li" elements in the sidebar. You can set your own style modifying or overriding these rules:
ul.really_simple_twitter_widget { /* your stuff */ }
ul.really_simple_twitter_widget li { /* your stuff */ }

As for the linked username on the bottom (if enabled), you can customize it this way:
div.rstw_link_user { /* your stuff */ }

== Credits ==

The release 1.2.3 is based on the work of Frank Gregor.

The releases 1.3.5 and 1.3.7 are based on the work of Jim Durand.
