  I’m trying to embed a single tweet into my blog (so it displays properly) and that’s it. I don’t want my entire twitter feed. I don’t want a twitter like button. I just want to display a single tweet into my blog.

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

  Another option (my preference) is taking Twitter’s own embed code and pasting it straight into the text editor. WordPress strips out part of the code and in the visual editor it only appears as a blockquote, but in the blog itself it displays perfectly.

  You get the embed code by clicking the More link inside a given tweet. It also works for replies. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets
