  I updated my website using the Blog Simple Theme (which I purchased) and have had a really tough time making the switch to the new twitter timeline in the sidebar (versus the older twitter widget). I have followed all the instructions and when I refresh nothing shows up. My trouble-shooting didn’t help either. Please advise. website URL is http://www.developmentpractice360.com. Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  For reference, our Twitter Timeline Widget documentation is here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-timeline-widget/#twitter-timeline-widget

  Most often, problems with the Twitter Timeline widget are caused by an improper widget ID number. You will need to create a Twitter widget at this link first:

  https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/

  …before you will be able to use the Twitter Timeline widget on WordPress.com. Make sure you copy the widget ID correctly before pasting it into the Twitter Timeline widget.

  If it’s still not working for you, please take a screenshot of how you are configuring the Timeline widget and upload it to your Media Library using Media > Add New. That can help me in figuring out exactly what the issue is. :)

  Thanks!
