== Installation ==

**Basic Setup**

1. Upload the `blugz` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Insert your user and change the destination category from `Settings` -> `Blugz` in your WP Administration

**First Import**

To start importing your buzz you just need to visit your blog homepage. The first import will take a while, please be patient.
As soon as the page finishes loading you can refresh it and you should see your brand new aggregated stream.

**Ad Hoc Theme**

You can download a modded version of P2 theme and install it to achieve the best Blugz experience

[Download P2 Mod Blugz](http://blugz.com/p2-mod-blugz.zip "Download P2 Mod Blugz") themes website.

**Geolocation**

To use geolocation you need to install the [Automattic official plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geolocation/ "Automattic official plugin")

**Theme Optimization**

For the best result we suggest you to use the `P2` theme with disabled titles. You can download `P2` from the [official wordpress](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2 "official wordpress") themes website.

If you are using a different theme you should act as follows:

 * Disable comments
 * Disable titles
