## Description

This plugin let you create your customized twitter (X) followers, Facebook fans,
YouTube Subscribers,
 WordPress members counters. It creates widget or let you display
these counters as raw text anywhere in your template or post/page content. You get
it as a text so you may customize design with your own HTML/CSS. All design and 
icons may be easily customized.

With this plugin you will not need any more third party buttons or scripts as it
connects directly to
 Facebook, twitter and YouTube APIs. This plugin should speed
up your blog as counters are cached in your database and are refreshed no more than
once per 2 hours. With third party buttons every page load gets all counter data
from external websites that slow down you blog.

Quick howto:

 1. To display counters use following tags: `twitter`, `facebook`, `youtube`, `wordpress`,`
    all`
 2. To display links use following tags: `twitterlink`, `facebooklink`, `youtubelink`
 3. In widget area use it like this: %twitter%
 4. In post/page content use it like this: [stcounter type=”twitter”]
 5. In templates use it like this: <?php echo stcounter(‘twitter’) ?>

This plugin require PHP in version 5 or higher!
