  Without seeing the code, we can’t be sure. You can post the code here between backticks so it displays and we can look at it. But you’re probably going to be better off using the prefab Twitter widget in your Widget list.

  The ones on that site are all Java Script which is banned on WordPress.

  Add Code to Your Site

  The Twitter buttons on twitter is your best options I have one on my site which is an image file, linked to my twitter page.

  You can find them by clicking help on twitter and then selecting goodies at the bottom of the page.

  Actually looking at this again, if you right click on any of those buttons on that site you can save them as an image file and then, place them on your sidebar as an image linking to your twitter page.
