How can I get the Twitter Timeline Widget to work properly?
-
I have tried adding the Twitter Timeline widget to my blog and follow the on-screen instructions and save changes. However, nothing (apart from the title ‘Follow me on Twitter’) is displayed. Please can you tell me what else I should be doing?
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi threre – it looks like you’re missing the Widget ID number:

You can create the widget and get the ID number while logged into your Twitter account here:
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new/user
Instructions on exactly where to find the ID number are here:

If you need further help, just let me know!

Hi,
I have done the above several times and saved the widget, but when I go back to my blog, the only thing that is displayed is the title ‘Follow me on Twitter’. When I go back into the widget to edit it, my ID has been deleted. This has happened about 10 times.
Please can you suggest something else I can try?
Thanks. -
I’d like to do some testing – could you please do this:
Take the entire code of the Twitter widget – not just the ID number – and paste it into a Pastebin here – http://pastebin.com/ – so I can take a look?
Then, grab the link to your pastebin and copy it into a draft post on your site so I can find it. Or if you’re comfortable, paste the link the pastebin in a reply here.
Thanks very much!

Hmm – I just took another look and your Twitter ID is now in your widget, and I’m seeing the timeline on your site:

Is everything alright now?
