===== What it does =====
It's a Wordpress widget to show Mastodon RSS feeds.
===== Technical reason for using this widget =====
- Mastodon rss feeds don't use an item title tag.
- With a 'normal' RSS widget this means that the feed looks something like this:
(Untitled)
(Untitled)
(Untitled)
Ugly!!
With this widget your feeds should look more like this:

This is the first Wordpress plugin.
It's very basic.
