+If you use twitter or identi.ca, here's how to make a box
+on the side of your blog that holds your recent status updates
+from there, like I have on [my blog](http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/)
+--[[Joey]]
+
+* Enable the [[plugins/aggregate]] plugin, and set up a cron
+ job for it.
+* At the top of your blog's page, add something like the following.
+ You'll want to change the urls of course.
+
+ \[[!template id=note text="""
+ \[[!aggregate expirecount=5 name="dents" url="http://identi.ca/joeyh"
+ feedurl="http://identi.ca/api/statuses/user_timeline/joeyh.atom"]]
+ \[[!inline pages="internal(dents/*)" archive=yes show=5 feeds=no]]
+ """]]
+
+For a cleaner look without the post dates, add `template=titlepage`
+to the `inline` directive.
+
+Note: Works best with ikiwiki 3.10 or better.
