## Description

Buzz Comments is for users who’ve their WordPress blog in their Google Buzz connected
sites list.
 In that case discussions about the Blogposts often split in two seperate
threads. Some users reply on Buzz and some on the Blog. This plugin adds the comments
posted on Buzz about your posts to the comments on the blog. The Buzz responses 
just get inserted between the normal comments in the correct chronological order.
So the blog users can see the normal comments and the Buzz comments.

The plugin is beta and under heavy development. Please check from time to time for
an update.

Note: It doesn’t work in combination with the WPML Multilingual plugin so far.

Please read the [Documentation](http://code.google.com/p/wpbuzzcomments/wiki/Documentation).

## Installation

 1. Upload buzzComments folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to the ‘Settings’ menu and choose the ‘Buzz Commments’ submenu page.
 4. Configure at least the ‘Google Profile E-Mail’ option.
 5. Get sure, that your blog is in the connected sites list of your Buzz stream.

## FAQ

  Does it work with WP Supercache?

You’ve to configure your Supercache that it invalidates the cache periodical. The
use of Supercache will increase the time until the new comments are displayed at
your posts.

  I get an “Fatal error” when I try to activate the Plugin.

Install the newest Pluginversion. If you still get the error open a ticket with 
at least the WordPress version and other plugins you use as information.

  The plugin is activated, but I don’t see the comments.

Please open a ticket! Provide at least WordPress version, plugin version and your
Google Buzz Profile URL as information.
