How to Embed Twitter in Blogger

Blogger gives you the ability to customize a blog with themes, images and gadgets, such as polls, slideshows and Google Adsense ads. Widgets and gadgets are the way Blogger controls add-ins for your blog. This includes embedding Twitter into Blogger. Twitter and Blogger work together and allow you to embed a Twitter widget in your Blogger with just a few clicks. Twitter widgets can embed in your Blogger page to stream your latest posts, searches or other information, depending on the type of widget you embed.

Instructions

1. Open your Internet browser and go to Twitter's homepage. Click the "Resources" link located at the bottom of Twitter's page.

2. Click "Widgets" from the "Resources" page and press "My Website" in the left navigation column. Select the widget-type you want to embed in Blogger. To show your own Tweets in a widget, for example, click "Profile Widget."

3. Specify and configure the settings for your Twitter widget. Most widgets provided by Twitter let you configure settings such as how often it updates, number of displayed results, colors and size. Click "Finish & Grab Code" after you configure your settings.

4. Click the "Add To Blogger" button under the text box containing the widget code. Sign in to Blogger with your Google account to continue.

5. Click the drop-down menu entitled "Select A Blog" to choose the blog where you want to add the Twitter widget. Type a title in the "Title" text box to provide your widget with a title to display along with the widget on your blog.

6. Press the "Add Widget" button to add Twitter to Blogger. Click and drag the added Twitter widget to any "Gadget" area on the "Add and Arrange Page Elements" page. Press the "Save" button once you are happy with the location of the embedded Twitter widget. Twitter is successfully embedded into Blogger.
