    Thanks.

    Just wanted to take a moment to introduce a new plugin I’ve recently released under the GNU General Public License: Version 2.

    The WordPress Twitter Forums Plugin places a unique floating Twitter Forums button on the right edge of your WordPress Blog that expands with a animated slide-in effect to reveal a Retweet.@ Twitter powered forum. Retweet.@ is a free service developed and provided by SumtnSumtn UG (haftungsbeschrÅ nkt). This plugin takes advantage of this powerful social media resource and incorporates it into your WordPress website in a unique way that allows you to create an ongoing conversation users, engaging them interactively with your website’s content.

    Official WordPress Plugin Repository Page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-twitter-forums-plugin/

    A working example can be seen on my personal blog @ http://www.StevenMilanese.com

    Feature requests, comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated and can be made via the plugin’s official page on my blog @ http://www.stevenmilanese.com/wordpress/plugin-development/wordpress-twitter-forums/
