  Hi All-

  I am looking to do a new feature on my Kentucky Sports blog where I embed tweets people sent to me in response to a question. I am trying to figure out how to embed those tweets so it looks the same as it does on Twitter. Is there a quick, easy way to do this?!

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Hi there. The official options are described here, using the URL of the tweet you want to embed: http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-embeds/

  However, the embed code generated by Twitter also works. Paste that embed code into the text editor. It won’t look right if you view the post in the visual editor, but in a published post (also in preview) it looks just like on Twitter: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets
