  I have followed all the steps to create a twitter timeline widget. It never works. I have tried multiple times on multiple blogs. I have one blog with a static front page, another with posts front page, and then the last is a photo blog. HELP!

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

  I see perfectly the twitter timeline widget in your blog
  http://bveltrop72.wordpress.com/ (left sidebar). You don’t see it?

  yes but it only says my tweets and nothing else. I have a very active timeline and am commenting, favoriting, and retweeting often.

  Ok, you can use the shortcode, and paste it into the text widget:

  (Embedding with a Shortcode)

  And the result is like this

  Note that the shortcode has scroll bar.
