## Description

Twitter Embed requires no configuration, it works out of the box right after activation.
Copy a link to a tweet on Twitter.com and paste it on a line by itself in your post
or page editor. When viewing the post, you’ll see that the link has been replaced
with the embedded tweet with options to reply, retweet, favorite and follow.

The plugin uses Twitter’s original widgets API, the shortcode and embed HTML are
available too. Embed HTML is reversed to a Tweet shortcode when HTML is filtered(
for authors or contributors). The tweets themselves are cached in post meta for 
better performance.

 * This is how you embed your tweets in the editor — just a link on it’s own line
   or a shortcode.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin zip archive.
 2. Extract it in your `wp-content/plugins` folder or upload via admin panel.
 3. Browse to your plugins section and active the plugin.
 4. Use it in your posts and pages by linking to tweets on a line by itself.

## FAQ

  Where do I get the link to a tweet?

Good question. It really depends on the Twitter application/client that you’re using.
If you’re using twitter.com then take a close look at the tweets and you’ll see 
that the date of when the tweet has posted (1 hour ago, etc) is a link. That link
is the one you’re looking for. If you’re using the Twitter for Mac application, 
you can right click any of the tweets and select View on Twitter.com which will 
take you to that particular tweet in your browser.
