    Hi, I’ve setup my blog today and would like to add the official Twitter widget, I’ve got the HTML from the Twitter site but I can’t see where to add the code, is it possible? If not, is there another widget I can use to show my tweets and give people the option of following me that looks well presented?

    Thanks
    Jenny

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

    If you are talking about a site hosted on WordPress.com, then here’s what we have available for use on our sites, found by searching for “twitter” in the Support docs.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=twitter

    It would be really helpful in future support requests if you would give the link to the site you need help with, starting with http://

    And if you are really new to WordPress.com (welcome!), you might also want to read http://learn.wordpress.com/

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply :) I did include my URL in the question form so I’m not sure why it didn’t come through but it’s this: http://jennymason.org/

    I’ve used the twitter options but they don’t look like what I’m looking for. I’ve tried using the Twitter widget on the Twitter site but it won’t work, is this becuase it’s not allowed? The code is this:

    <script src=”http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js”></script>
    <script>
    new TWTR.Widget({
    version: 2,
    type: ‘profile’,
    rpp: 3,
    interval: 30000,
    width: 250,
    height: 300,
    theme: {
    shell: {
    background: ‘#a6d5e3’,
    color: ‘#1a171a’
    },
    tweets: {
    background: ‘#c0e1f0’,
    color: ‘#2b222b’,
    links: ‘#a1adac’
    }
    },
    features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    behavior: ‘all’
    }
    }).render().setUser(‘jennymasonuk’).start();
    </script>

    That code contains JavaScript, so unfortunately you won’t be able to insert it here.

    You always have a built-in Twitter widget that you can use:

    P.S. To link your blog to your username: Users > Personal Settings > Account details > Website.
