If you, like me, use Wordpress, there’s a nice little widget that fits (just) into the standard Kubrick sidebar. You can see an example on the right there.
It’s an official Twitter-produced piece of code, and works via Flash.
I had (in fact, still have) the Wordpress TwitterTools plugin, but after a while I found all the short Twitter messages cluttering up my blog was a pain.
But this widget is rather good, as it keeps all your Tweets in a sidebar widget. So people can read them if they want, scroll down for more, or ignore them if they don’t.
You can get the code here: http://twitter.com/widgets . Or just click on the link in my widget on the right there.
The same site allows you to create specific widgets for Facebook, MySpace, Blogger and Typepad, or even a normal webpage.
If you’re using Wordpress, like me, you click on “Other“. Then follow the menu, ensuring you actually click on “Flash Widget” and then click again on “Interactive Widget“.
Once you copy the code, you’ll need to use the Wordpress Widget editor on your Wordpress blog (easy to use) that’s under the “Design” menu, and paste the code into a “Text” widget that you need to add. And I had to reduce the width parameters in the code to make it fit (196 pixels in my case).
But it works very well, I think. Have a look at my recent Tweets over on the right.
