## Description

This plugin allows you to display a widget on your blog with the profile information
from any website that supports the
 WebFinger protocol. (Specifically tested with
Diaspora.org, Status.net, Friendika.com)

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.

OR

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

Q. Why doesn’t the link in the widget go directly to my profile on [insert social
network here]? A. Some of the networks don’t have a full profile link in the hCard
or XRD at the moment (or I can’t find it). This might change in the future.
