  You can’t because embedding widgets into page content or post content is not possible here. Widgets can only appear in sidebars and footer areas for widgets.

  Timethief is correct. WordPress does offer only a specific timeline twitter widget option:

  LOL :D Of course what I posted is correct. I have answered questions here along with raincoaster for over 8 years now. When we began here there was only a single Support Staff member and no support docs at all. LOL :D

  That said, I suppose she could create a page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and then embed each individual tweet from her twitter timeline into it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-embeds/

  Aha! Now I get it. You wanted to provide the relevant twitter timeline widget link to the OP. Good on you for doing that. :)

  Thanks – that’s what I thought but I appreciate the confirmation. Wonder why WP doesn’t allow a widget to live as an entire page or for Twitter widgets to work on a page … Seems like a page of one’s Twitter timeline would be fairly useful …

  I believe the reason we cannot use any widget to fill any page or post with content is because that’s exactly what sploggers who rip content off do. They commonly use free WordPress.ORG software and use RSS Feeds to fill blogs with thieved content so they can make income from the ads on the splogs/blogs they create.

  Frankly I find absolutely no value in displaying a twitter timeline widget anywhere on my blogs. That’s what my Twitter profile pages are for.
