This plugin hopes to make linking to Twitter profiles easier in WordPress posts and pages.

It's the result of typing Twitter usernames far too often in my blog posts and having to go back and link to them later, typing out http://www.twitter.com/username.

The plugin uses a basic shortcode:

[twitter]

to wrap around Twitter user names.

The plugin will then output the username with a link to their profile, displaying the standard @username format.

In addition, the links can be styled via your sites CSS, using the .twitshort selector.
