Lately a lot of people on the Internet seem to have been addicted to the very famous microblogging social network Twitter. On the other hand the hardcore bloggers still prefer to use Wordpress for its splendid blogging features and high functionality.

Following the enraging multi-trends of blogging, the guys at Automattic (the company behind Wordpress) decided to make a theme that would fulfill the needs of both Twitter and Wordpress users. So they came up with a Wordpress theme called Prologue.

Prologue is a special Wordpress theme created by Joseph Scott and Matt Thomas from the Automattic team. It can be imagined as a group Twitter that brings the very unique features and functionality of Twitter to Wordpress. Mathematically it is easy to understand:

Prologue = Twitter + Wordpress

Prologue Features

In Prologue each message can have comments (just like a blog post in regular Wordpress) and of course each comments thread has its own RSS feed.

Basically how it works is when someone has the ability to post to a blog they see a short form at the top of the home page with a post box and tags. There they can post short messages about what they’re doing. Below the posting box is a list of everyone’s latest tweet or message, with their Gravatar next to it.
