Karen: I notice that Derek currently has the Twitter feed widget in his footer – would that work for your site…? Perhaps not – just a thought 🙂

Hi Karen,
I suspect that the sidebar you’re trying to get the feed into is narrower than 220px, the stated minimum width for the timeline. You might be able to overwrite the CSS by using Firebug to find out what you need to change. Alternatively, search the plugin directory – there may well be something that does exactly what you’re wanting! The other option would be to change your sidebar configuration, if you particularly wanted this specific timeline feed. You could have a single sidebar on some specific pages, allowing you to embed the feed as it stands, without reducing the effect you were trying to create with the double sidebars on the homepage, perhaps….

Hi Karen,
Here’s a link to the documentation for Twitter’s embedded timeline feature – it tells you how to change dimensions: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines. Hope that helps!

Hi Karen,

To use the Twitter embed feature, you need to go to twitter.com, and from the settings drop-down, select ‘Edit Profile’, and on that page, from the menu on the left hand side, select ‘Widgets’. There you can choose ‘Create New’ to create a unique embed code to add your Twitter feed to a widget on your site. Configure the feed as you’d like (make sure you have your domain name entered correctly – with http:// at the beginning and NO www.), then click ‘Create Widget’. Harvest the code that is generated for you, by copying it to your clipboard, then head over to your site and post it into a ‘Text’ widget – whichever widget you want it to appear in! Hope that helps 🙂
