Replace the twitter feed on Oberwald hompage with specific post format #33

Since 3.1 Wordpress allows multiple different formats for posts:

The twitter feeds needs to be replaced (as it isn't used) with a custom post 
format. My initial reaction is for the status format to be used.

I need to assess which one I am doing. A test install of wp on my laptop and 
playing around with the default theme (where it is present) should be 
sufficient.

I then need to modify the functions.php file to include support and the .css 
file to make sure changes are visible. I then i finally need to modify the news 
and main page to exclude these changes.

This may be part of the larger work to get the current theme up to date in 
preperation for a re-build!

for future refrence, you can filter it so only specific post formats can be 
queried:

-in-wordpress-3-1

and this code should exclude specific post-formats from appearing in the main 
query (eg on the news and front page):

Yes if we could turn it into a feed for the Team News Network. So starts off by 
saying Team News Network Live Feed, and then the last ten news items. Also 
would be good if it was a clickable link to the TNN
