We’ve passed around lists of things people would like to implement on their blogs, but are currently unable to do so.

Our group received a request for an integrated display of their Twitter accounts.

To tackle the Twitter feed conundrum, our group deciphered a method of implementation using simple WordPress widgets. This allows users to have their live Twitter feeds running on their blog.

We found two methods that seem to be the simplest ways to incorporate your Twitter account.

1. Create a Twitter Widget

Log into your Twitter account, go into your settings and click on the Widgets option.

In this option, you can create a widget that displays your recent tweets.

This option however requires some editing in your theme in the ‘sidebar.php’ file. Please be aware that editing this may require some development coding knowledge, otherwise it could alter your theme or deem it unusable.

2. Twitter Widget Plugin and shortcode

Rotating Tweets from the WordPress Plugin Directory installs a widget that displays your recent tweets in an animated rotation.

Within the above link is the instructions and files needed to download and install your Twitter widget.
