Twitter Twitter Integration

Why Integrate Twitter?

In this section we'll show you how to integrate Twitter into your website, blog, and Facebook. This can help to increase your Twitter following and brand awareness.

Step 1

In a browser Go To http://twitter.com/

From the bottom navigation bar, Click Resources.

Step 2

You’ll have a lot of options for how you want to integrate Twitter. Click on Widgets.

Step 3

Select the My Website link, since this is where you’ll put the widget.

Step 4

In this example, we’re going to add a Profile Widget to our site. Click on Profile Widget.

Step 5

Enter your username and Click on Preferences.

Step 6

Decide how your widget will appear on your webpage...how many tweets do you want to show? Want to see avatars? Offer polls? When you’re happy with your preferences, Click Appearance.

Step 7

Give your widget some color! With the range of options, you can probably get a perfect match with your site’s palette, or you could go for something neutral.

When you’ve put some color on your widget, Click Dimensions.

Step 8

Have a specific spot in mind for your widget? Set the dimensions for it. Or, set the width to “auto”. When you choose auto, the widget will expand or contract to fit perfectly into your site’s sidebar. When you’ve got the dimensions just right, Click Finish and Grab Code.

Step 9

The code appears! Now copy this code and place it into your website or blog.

If you have someone who helps you manage your website or blog, it’s easy to email them this code.

Step 10

What’s better than a Facebook Fan? A Facebook Fan who’s also a Twitter Follower!

Lucky for you, it’s easy to show your Facebook Fans how to follow you on Twitter by adding an app to Facebook.

From the Widget’s screen, Select Facebook.
