Ever wonder how to get your Twitter feed into your WordPress sidebar?  It’s really very simple.  Here are the steps I used to get the Twitter badge as you see displayed on the right.

  1. Navigate your browser over to www.twitter.com/badges login and select Other for the Flash and HTML widgets.
  2. Select your version of the badge you want (I chose Flash)
  3. Choose your basge color and then copy the text to your clipboard.
  4. Open up your WordPress admin console. Navigate to the Design tab and then Widgets.
  5. Add a Text widget and copy the clipboard (text you copied from Twitter) into the text widget.
  6. You can then move the test widget to any location in the sidebar.

Your Twitter feeds will now display in the sidebar of your WordPress blog.
