Use the search in the plug-in to load up that person&#8217;s recent comments and just click the one you want.<\/p>\n<p>Nice and slick. Only problem is it&#8217;s not working for me if I use a new Twitter link. You have to delete the #! from the Tweet&#8217;s URL to make it work properly. \u00a0 It&#8217;s a minor bug though, and since I know how to fix it, I think I&#8217;ll keep the plug-in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I immediately liked the name of the new WordPress plug-in, Blackbird Pie.
