Please see the included wpcodex extension for an example of how to create a custom extension and include it. Extensions should in the following format: extensions// extensions//extension.inc.php -- define your extension class here extensions//icon.png -- 16x16 identifying image You may include multiple classes in extension.inc.php, but without overriding get_icon_url they will all try to use icon.png. Your class must still be registered using the following line of code: $lifestream->register_feed('ClassName');
