Works No Problems

Just learnt more on the benefits of using WebSub a.k.a PubSubHubbub and love that this plugin did the necessary code to the feed instantly. I can see it worked as a newly published blog was discovered

Excluding dot @mention tweets?

Is there any way to exclude .@to_twitter_handle messages from showing?

by wpdezinr01

Very basic, hard to customize

There are no options to adjust anything in the feed: text size, etc. using CSS doesn’t work. Text size is very small. Basic, not much else.
