 * Hello,
 * I maintain the website for my friends’ bar. One of the owners Tweets and Facebook
   posts information daily, usually about the band that is playing that evening.
   I have been using the Twitter Tools plugin to create a post from each tweet to
   keep content fresh on the front page. The theme I am using is Modularity-Lite
   from Graph Paper Press. I don’t think it has been updated for a while, but until
   I can get my php and css skills up enough to create a new child theme (based 
   on a more recent theme like twenty-thirteen), it has the look the owners want.
   Modularity-Lite doesn’t seem to support the Status post format, so every time
   he sends out a tweet I have to remove the body, use only the title and add a 
   readable date to the beginning. I am trying to add the Status post format to 
   this theme and so far I have been able to add the code to the functions.php file
   to get the option to show up in the Posts dashboard, but of course they all look
   the same no matter what format is chosen. When I try to find information on what
   to do next on this forum or just in google, I hit a wall because most things 
   seems to be instructions for things my themes do not have or cannot find. For
   instance one place said to add a specific code to loop.php which I do not have
   and I cant find the similar info in index.php.
 * Can someone help me add this function to my theme? Is it possible? The URL is
