## Description

WordPress 3.4 introduced native Twitter embeds. You may not want to use these for
privacy–or other–reasons, while still allowing for other embeds. This plugin disables
only Twitter embeds.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `disable-twitter-embeds` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the “Disable Twitter Embeds” plugin in your WordPress administration interface
 3. That’s it.

## FAQ

#### Why does my post still show a Twitter embed after activating this plugin?

If you saved a post containing a Twitter embed before activating this plugin, you
simply need to re-save it to make it go away.

#### How do I disable Markdown processing?

In most cases this should be unnecessary, since Markdown ignores existing HTML. 
But if Markdown for some reason disturbs your HTML when making an edit to a non-
Markdown post, either check the “Disable Markdown formatting” checkbox, or put a`
<!--no-markdown-->` HTML comment in your post somewhere (useful when using a mobile
or 3rd party blogging app).
