  You can add one of those buttons to the sidebar of your blog by pasting the code into a Text Widget. You can find information on using Text Widgets at:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  You will want to:
  – Go to Appearance > Widgets
  – Drag a Text Widget into the sidebar
  – Paste the code from Twitter
  – Click Save

  Sure.
  (1) You click the button of your choice on that page and the code appears. This you copy and then proceed to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets.
  (2) There you drag a text widget out of the Available Widgets box and drop it into the Sidebar box.
  (3) You click the top right hand corner of the Text widget. It opens and you then paste the code into the Text widget.
  (4) You click “Save” and then “Close”.
  Lastly, view your blog and you will see the twitter badge in your sidebar.

  I’ve tried this AND using the Twitter widget provided by WordPress and neither one will work.
