Description:

WP FollowMe is a wordpress plugin that allows you to add a twitter “Follow me” badge on your wordpress blog.

What is nice?

This plugin is very easy to install. Setup is as simple as going to the plugins setting and entering the path to your Twitter URL. You have a decent amount of icons to chose from though at this moment it doesn’t appear you can use your own. Changing the color is simple by using Hexadecimal code under settings. Your also give the option of size and position on the page.

What is NOT so nice?

I don’t agree that what you have in the end is a “badge” on your page. It’s much more a tab that is fixed to the side of the browser. A rollover effect would help to give it more user feedback. Seeing that it already uses CSS, a rollover effect would be utilized quite easily.

In conclusion

Because this plugin is so easy to install and setup I would suggest it to anyone with limited CSS knowledge looking to achieve this look. This author is a young freelance designer and I think this plugin will get better as they continue to develop. I installed this plugin hoping it would allow you to display your followers as well.

My Rating: 2.5/5
