Live blogging made easy with the Easy Liveblogs plugin from Double Take Pigeon.
Covering a conference, sports event, breaking news or other quickly developing events? You want your readers to be updated as quickly as possible. The best way to do that is by providing them with a liveblog.
Built with developers in mind
The plugin has tons of filter and action hooks so that developers can adjust the plugin to their liking. Feel free to contribute on GitHub.
