How to Embed Twitter in Your Blog

Put your Twitter feed right on your homepage.

Not everyone who might be interested in your Twitter feed goes to the Twitter website regularly. However, Twitter offers a simple, embeddable widget that will display any new Tweets right on your blog.

All you need to create an automatic Twitter feed on your blog is a publicly accessible Twitter account.

Instructions

1. Go to the Twitter widgets page (see Resources).

2. Click My Website on the left side of the window.

3. Click Profile Widget.

4. Enter your Twitter username in the text field. You can only embed your Twitter feed if it is a public account. You cannot embed a private account.

5. Click the Test Settings button. This will show you a sample of how the embedded Twitter widget will look on your blog.

6. Click "Finish & Grab Code." Copy the code by typing "Ctrl" and "C."

7. Paste the code into your blog's code by typing "Ctrl" and "V." How you edit your blog will depend on your your blog.

Tips & Warnings

• Posting the Twitter widget code into different sections of your blog's code will put the widget in different places.
