  Hi, I’m having problems getting the twitter widget to appear on my blog.
  I watched the video and made sure my tweets are public in my twitter account, and
  selected latest 5 tweets after putting my username but it just doesn’t appear on the
  blog. I tried to put it in different sidebar locations and still no luck. I tried the twitter
  blackbird pie method and that worked, but I don’t want the tweets to take over the
  home page. I just want it to appear in the sidebar. Any suggestions?

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

  I added the Twitter widget just fine and it does not work that well. the text escapes the sidebar and bleeds into the blog. I would think that the text should wrap, like every other thing in the sidebar…

  I tried several themes, so I guess it is an issue with the widget…

  thanks!

  I’m using Firefox 3.6.16 and I don’t see any “bleeding” form the Twitter widget. Which browser and version of it are you using? Have you tried any troubleshooting?
