WordPress Plugins: Writely RSS Widget

This is my first publicy released WordPress Plugin/Widget. This plugin reads a Writely RSS Feed and display the items in a Widget on your sidebar. It’s based entirley on the RSS Feed Widget that comes with the WordPress Widgets Control but instead of just displaying the feed items I have modified it to remove the Introduction and Private items.

How It Works:
The Writely RSS Feed Widget will display a list of links of documents from Writely. If a user is either the owner or a collaborator they will see the document in edit mode other wise they will see the document in a read-only view mode.

Installation
First you’ll need a Writely.com account and some documents otherwise this plugin is useless.
Second you’ll need WordPress Widgets Plugin.
Third download the writley.txt file (right-click.>save as..->writley.php) and place it in your widgets plugins directory.

Configuration
Go to the plugins admin and register the plugin.
Then go to the widgets admin and add the Writley RSS Widget to your side-bar.
Open another tab and go to the Writely RSS Feeds and select either the Active Document Feed or one of the Tagged Documenst Feeds, get the URL and paste it into the URL Box. Then give it a name and select the number of items to show.
Now save and go to the main page and you should see your list of Writely Documents
