I have just had the need to develop a very basic plugin to put a Twitter widget (not a WordPress widget) on a website. I didn’t see the point in forcing the user to put masses of code onto their page each time they wanted to include the widget so created a shortcode to do the same job.

I have rather imaginatively called it SB Twitter and it allows the user of a shortcode to put the Twitter flash widget onto a post or a page.

Usage

[sb_twitter name="you_user_name"]

You can optionally include width=”" and/or height=”" to manipulate the size of the box.

Download

The download file contains a readme which essentially says to upload the file to your plugins directory, activate it and use the shortcode provided.
