How to Add a Twitter Feed to Your Website Or Blog

If you want to add a Twitter feed to your website or blog that will show your most recent tweets then here's what you need to do.

Log into your Twitter account. At the bottom of the page is a tab called Goodies.

Select this tab and you will be taken to a page that had a choice of Widgets or buttons.

Select widgets and you will be taken to a page that asks you to select your widget. As you want to add a Twitter feed to your website or blog choose the 'My Website' tab on the top left of the page.

On the next page you have a number of widget options. To display your latest tweets on your website or blog choose "Profile Widget"

This will take you to a page that has an example of your Twitter feed. You can now make a number of changes to the feed so that it fits into the design of your website or blog.

You can change the number of tweets displayed if you select the 'Preferences' tab

You can change the colours of the feed box by selecting the 'Appearance' tab. Try and choose a colour scheme that matches the colours in your website or blog.

You can also change the dimensions of the Twitter feed box by selecting the 'Dimensions' tab.

Once you have made your style selections click on the 'Test settings' tab at the bottom of the page. This will display your selected version of the Twitter feed. If you are happy with your choices then click on the 'Finish and Grab Code' tab.

A box will appear with the HTML code that you need to us to add a Twitter feed to your website or blog. Copy and paste the code to a notepad.

Open up your html editor. I use Kompozer. Insert the piece of code that you saved on notepad into your website or blog. Upload your amended website and blog using a FTP client. I use Filezilla.

Have a look at your website to make sure your feed is working.

That's how to add a Twitter feed to your website or blog.
