I finally decided to set up my Twitter Feed on my blog which you can see at the right as well as on my website.
It was pretty easy to set up actually and now I've got my latest Tweets in place for everyone to see.
Twitter makes the set up simple. However it was a little confusing at first because you set up your Twitter feed in your 'settings' profile, not in the profile from your main page.
Between playing with the look and feel and getting it just right, all in all it took me about 15 minutes to do.
If you'd like to do the same here are the steps:
1. Log on to Twitter.
2 Once logged in, click on Twitter 'Settings' at the very top of the page:
3. Next click on 'Profile'
4. At the 'Web' section click on the link that says:
' (You can also add Twitter to your site here) '
5. Next click Widgets for 'My Website'
You'll see 4 selections for putting your recent twitter updates on your blog or website. Choose 'Profile Widget'. You can read through the others to decide if you prefer those instead.
6. On the 'Customize Your Profile Widget' page select 'Preferences'
7. Choose your settings
I prefer to display only my latest Tweet so I chose to display only 1 tweet but you can choose to display as many as you wish. As you make changes you can click 'test settings' at the bottom to see what your changes will look like.
8. Next click 'Appearance'
Here's where you can change the colors of your widget to match your blog or website color theme. Simply click on the color squares and choose the colors that you prefer.
9. Next Click 'Dimensions'
Here's where you can adjust the size of your widget.
10. When you've got your widget looking the way you want, simply click 'Finish & Grab Code'.
Cut and paste the code into your blog or website.
Congratulations! You've got yourself a new Twitter Widget.
