## Description

Pocket WP connects to the Pocket API and pulls in your latest saved links with tags
and excerpts into a WordPress page, post or widget.

#### Setup

Due to the way Pocket’s API works, you need to complete a few steps before you can
use the plugin.

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Create an application on the [Pocket Developers website](http://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new),
    enter your Consumer Key into the Pocket WP settings page and click Save Changes
    to start the authorization process.
 3. Click the Get Access Key link to complete the authorization.

#### Shortcode

The shortcode embeds a list of Pocket links into a page or post.

The basic shortcode is `[pocket_links]` and it accepts some optional arguments:

    ```
    count: [any number] // How many links to display. Default is all.

    excerpt: yes, no // Whether or not to display the excerpt extracted by Pocket. Default is yes.

    tag: [any one of your Pocket tags] // Choose to show links from one tag. Supports one tag only. Default is all links, tagged or untagged.

    credit: yes, no // Choose to add author credit. Default is to not show credit links.

    tag_list: yes, no // Whether or not to show a list of tags after each link.
    ```

#### Widget

The Widget is available to drag and drop into any widgetized sidebars. It has some
options:

    ```
    title // the title for the widget

    count // the number of links to show. Default is 5

    tag: [any of your Pocket tags] // Choose to show links from one tag. Currently supports one tag only. Default is all links, tagged or untagged.

    author credit: yes, no // Choose to give author credit. Default is to not show credit links.
    ```
