FeedBurner rss subscribers, Facebook fans and  twitter followers raw text counters widget. Very easy to customize to
your website design. It makes your blog faster and more unique than with external third party buttons/scripts.

== Description ==

This plugin let you create your customized twitter followers, Facebook fans and FeedBurner RSS subscribers counters.
It creates widget that can display these counters as raw text. You may customize widget design with your own HTML/CSS.
It is as easy as standard WordPress text widget but you can use `%twitter%`, `%facebook%` and `%feedburner%` tags to
display your counters.

With this plugin you will not need any more third party buttons or scripts as it connects directly to FeedBurner,
Facebook and twitter. This plugin should speed up your blog as counters are cached in your database and are refreshed
no more than once per 2 hours. With third party buttons every page load gets all counter data from external websites
that slow down you blog.

Additionally it is much easier to link to your accounts as you may use tags `%twitterlink%` and `%feedburnerlink%` to
put urls to your twitter profile and rss feed.

1. Upload `subscribers-text-counter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Update your your setting with 'Settings/Subscriber Text Counter' menu in WordPress and click Refresh to load counters
   (to set all counters read the instructions on settings page)
4. Put 'Subscriber Text Counter' widget on your sidebar through 'Appearance/Widgets' menu in WordPress
5. Optionally you may customize widget text and title. Use `%twitter%`, `%facebook%` and `%feedburner%` tags to display
   counters and `%twitterlink%` and `%feedburnerlink%` to display links (you don't have to use all tags)
