  I’ve seen other blogs that enable a click on a twitter handle which links to that person’s twitter profile. How do I create a link to a twitter handle?

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

  Can you show me an example of what you are looking to do? A site where you have seen this?

  Hello,

  Here is an example of a page that links Twitter handles to the person’s twitter page.

  I would like for this to happen, if possible, in my last blog where I have many references to people’s Twitter handles.

  Thank you,

  We have a couple things that might be what you are looking for.

  This page talks about the different social media buttons that WordPress.com has available:

  This is a Twitter widget that will display your most recent posts in the sidebar:

  And here is a text widget that you could use to insert a twitter logo and link it to your twitter page:

  Take a look through those pages and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.
