WP Quote Tweet – I Like This Plugin

Every once in a while I feel the need to talk about a specific tweet or series of tweets.

It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, I invariably find myself taking screen captures of the tweets to illustrate or copying and pasting the twitter user info to the twitter user name in the post. You know the dance. Today I stumbled upon a plugin I really like called WP Quote Tweets. With a simple short code that uses the tweetid, you get a nice little graphic display of the tweet like this one:

WP Quote Tweets provides you with variety of selectable display styles. The one I’ve chosen above is called Twitter.tidy and it’s described this way, “This layout is like the twitter template, but with a smaller font and the name information background color is the same as the user’s sidebar fill color. Just like the twitter template, the thick border around the quote has the same color as the user’s background color.” Of course, you get to pick your own style.
