Twitter widget direct into blog post
-
I am having trouble inserting a Twitter widget i have created onto a blog post. It does not embed the code, it only shows the code not the twitter feed i have created.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The only widget you can use is the Twitter timeline widget. You do not embed the Twitter timeline widget into posts. It’s for your sidebar or footer area for widgets. Also note that widget data is cached and takes time to update. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-timeline-widget/

It actually is possible to embed a Twitter timeline (not the widget) in a post or page. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-timeline-widget/#embedding-with-a-shortcode
I did this on wpcommaven as a live feed of tweets when WordCamp IL was taking place. :)
