The Twittering begins!
I’ve finally got Twitter on both my main blogs, this one and Strange Machines. Although there are tons of Twitter plugins for Wordpress blogs (and having installed 2 that don’t seem to work), I found it easiest to cut and paste the custom HTML and Javascript Twitter code myself.
Here’s how:
1. First ensure your Twittering is set to public.
At Twitter, go to Settings -> unclick Protect my Updates -> Save.
2. Now, each theme is a bit tricky. This one actually doesn’t have any Sidebars defined (you’ll see when you click Widgets), so what I had to do was:
A. Head to Design -> Theme Editor -> Sidebar
and right after <div class=”sidebar”>
paste the HTML/Javascript code from the Twitter badge site. Click here to get yours.
Update File and you’re done.
B. If you do have your Sidebar Widgets enabled, go to Design -> Widgets
and add a Text widget.
Copy and paste the HTML/Javascript code from Twitter wholesale into the text area.
Save and you’re done!
Happy Twittering.
