Show twitter follower count
---------------------------

The following files are included:
- counterbtn.css                     example of css file needed.
- jquery.gettwittercounter.js        javascript file
- load.gif                           loading image
- reademe.txt                        this file
- showtwittercountertest.php         example how to use the scripts
- twitter3.gif                       example image of a button
- twittercounter.js                  primary javascript file


The javascript files, the css files used by the scripts and load.gif must be placed in the same directory.
The address of this directory is noted in the counterUri variable located first in twittercounter.js.

Example of use (from showtwittercountertest.php):

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://lab1.cylinderlabs.net/twittercounter/twittercounter.js"></script>
	<a href="http://twitter.com/tdhse">
  <span class="twitterButton" id="counterbtn1" title="By: TwitterButtons.com"> 
  	<span class="twitterCounter" id="tdhse"><br /><br /> Followers: </span>
  </span>
	</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitterbuttons.com">By TwitterButtons.com</a>
 
The address of twittercounter.js must be modified to correspond to the counterUri variable.

The id in class twitterButton selects which css file to use, in this case counterbtn1.css.

The id in class twitterCounter selects the twitter user, in this case tdhse.
This is where the counter is added, in this example after Followers: . 

Limitations:
- Only one button per page can be included.
- To prevent blacklisting a maximum of 95 calls per hour  and IP number will be allowed. 
- To prevent unnecessary reloads, updates are currently done every 5 minutes per session.
