A plugin for interfacing your wordpress with Prowl, an iPhone push application for notifications.

== Description ==

WP-Prowl is a Prowl integration plugin for Wordpress. It will allow you to receive Push notifications on your iPhone about things happening on your blog. The first version has the following capabilities:

	* Notify on new Comment
	* Notify on new Ping/Trackback

	* Notify on new Post

Additionally, it allows you to configure the format of these notifications, so that you can pick what information is relevant to you and how to display it on your phone.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the files into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Purchase Prowl for your iPhone (http://prowl.weks.net)
4. Follow Prowl's setup instructions.
5. Login to the Prowl website to retrieve your API key.
6. Enter the API key into WP-Prowl's settings page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= A question that someone might have =

An answer to that question.

= What is Prowl? =

Prowl is a probably one of the most useful iPhone applications that you could ever own, and itÕs a downright steal at $3 USD (iTunes Store Link). Prowl allows you to receive Growl notifications on your iPhone (more on Growl later). In a particularly impressive twist, it also exposes an API so that any internet connected service can send notifications to your iPhone. Imagine the possibilities: shell scripts, web servers, Wordpress plugins (howabout that?).

= What is Growl? =

Growl is a system-wide notification system, originally for Mac OS X but thatÕs since been cloned into Windows compatible versions as well. It allows ŌGrowl awareĶ applications to send notifications to a centralized notification system on your computer, where they can be displayed on screen, emailed, pushed to your phone (via Prowl) or any other thing that a Growl plugin developer could imagine. Growl doesnÕt come into the WP-Prowl equation, but itÕs probably to your benefit to know where it all started.
How can I use WP-Prowl?

Getting started is easy. First, own an iPhone running software 3.0+. Second, purchase Prowl from the app store. Third, Install my Wordpress plugin, WP-Prowl. Fourth, get your API key from the Prowl website (more on that later). Fifth and finally, configure my Wordpress plugin with your API key, and youÕre done!

= I have an idea for your plugin! =

Awesome! If itÕs a good one (and IÕm sure it is), IÕd love to implement it. Send me what youÕre thinking (nate at milkandtang dot com), and IÕll send you back my thoughts. IÕm super-excited to hear from you!

= I love your plugin! =

Hey thanks! Perhaps youÕd consider making a [donation](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7648647 "Make a donation via PayPal!")donation? Love goes a long way, but money keeps me living; and when IÕm alive, IÕm writing plugins! Seriously though, I could always use help with the rent and whatnot, and would appreciate whatever you can give. Even if itÕs just some kudos on your blog.
