Customizable raw text counters to display twitter followers and FeedBurner rss subscribers. It makes your website faster
and more unique than with external third party buttons/scripts.

== Description ==

This plugin let you create your customized twitter followers and FeedBurner RSS subscribers counters. It creates widget
that can display these counters as raw text. You may customize widget design with your own HTML/CSS. It is as easy as
standard WordPress text widget but you can use `%twitter%` and `%feedburner%` tags to display your subscriber counters.

With this plugin you will not need any more third party buttons or scripts as it connects directly to FeedBurner
and twitter. This plugin should speed up your blog as counters are cached in your database and are refreshed no more
than once per 2 hours. With third party buttons every page load gets all counter data from external websites. It may
slow down your website a lot.

Additionally it is much easier to link to your accounts as you may use tags `%twitterlink%` and `%feedburnerlink%` to
put urls to your twitter profile and rss feed.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `subscribers-text-counter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Activate 'Awareness API' through 'Publicize' tab on your FeedBurner account (required only if you want RSS counter)
4. Update your FeedBurner feed name and twitter handle through the 'Settings/Subscriber Text Counter' menu in WordPress
   and click Refresh to load counters
5. Put 'Subscriber Text Counter' widget on your sidebar through 'Appearance/Widgets' menu in WordPress
6. Optionally you may customize widget text and title. Use `%twitter%` and `%feedburner%` tags to display counters and
   `%twitterlink%` and `%feedburnerlink%` to display links (you don't have to use all tags)
