This is the second blog in a series that discusses methods of connecting a WordPress Blog and a Twitter site.
The simplest way of displaying Twitter Tweets ( a tweet is a Twitter posts) on a WordPress blog is by activating the Twitter widget on WordPress.
Go to the Dashboard of the WordPress blog. Click on ‘Appearance’ on the left side. Then click ‘Widgets’. In the list of ‘Widgets’ find ‘Twitter’ and drag-and-drop it into any position on the ‘sidebar’.
After dropping the widget fill in the name of the link (use any name you want – see ‘Dill Tweets’), fill in the Twitter user name and the number of tweets to display; five is the default.
To edit the Twitter widget bar find the arrow on the right side of the widget bay and open up the edit window. WordPress hid that for some reason we will never know. Probably a nerdism.
Side note: Begin adding tags for all blog posts. Tags are like keywords that help users and search engines search blogs. More on tags in another post.
