WhisperFollow

WhisperFollow is a plugin for wordpress that enables tumblr like social blogging across the web by aggregating RSS and allowing reblogging with comments . I aim to expand the plugin to work as an ostatus client when combined with Ostatus For WordPress.

It does create a new post category for “whispers” into which all reblogs will be posted though one can then edit the new posts as one likes. If one wants to exclude this whispers category from any section of wordpress such as their frontpage (so landing users only see original content) I recommend Simply Exclude.

Once installed navigate to the page with the slug “following” eg “yoursite.com/blog/following”.

This content on this wall page is visible only to you unless you reblog items.
