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.
- Navigate your browser over to www.twitter.com/badges login and select Other for the Flash and HTML widgets.
- Select your version of the badge you want (I chose Flash)
- Choose your basge color and then copy the text to your clipboard.
- Open up your Wordpress admin console. Navigate to the Design tab and then Widgets.
- Add a Text widget and copy the clipboard (text you copied from Twitter) into the text widget.
- 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.
Thanks for a quick way to set up an official Twitter badge for WordPress blogs! If you are looking for an alternative to the official badge, have a look at SayTweet – you can make a cool badge with any picture, and you can embed it in WP by copy and pasting the code. I’m using it in my blog’s About page and it looks great.
