    \n
  1. Go to Twitter 'widgets'<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Create a new 'widget' with your desired settings\n\n
      \n
    1. IMPORTANT<\/strong>: make sure you enter the domain of the site the widget appears on<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/li>\n
    2. Copy the generated code from the text field labelled \"Copy and paste the code into the HTML of your site\" and either:\n\n
        \n
      1. Copy just the data-widget-id number<\/em> from the generated code. Paste the code into Notepad or your favourite text editor and copy the data-widget-id number from there (I know, it's a pain).\nOR<\/li>\n
      2. Copy the number from the URL, e.g. https:\/\/twitter.com\/settings\/widgets\/\/edit<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/li>\n
      3. \"Save changes\" on the widget settings page<\/li>\n
      4. Optional<\/em> (If you didn't install direct from WordPress.org) Upload the 'twitter-widget.php<\/strong>' file to your WordPress '\/wp-content\/plugins\/widgets<\/em>' folder.<\/li>\n
      5. Activate the 'Twitter<\/em>' plugin in your WordPress admin 'Plugins<\/em>'<\/li>\n
      6. Go to 'Presentation \/ Widgets<\/em>' in your WordPress admin area.<\/li>\n
      7. Drag the 'Twitter<\/em>' widget to your sidebar.<\/li>\n
      8. Configure the options:\n\n
          \n
        1. Account<\/em>: your Twitter account name, required<\/li>\n
        2. Data Widget Id<\/em>: the data-widget-id number<\/em><\/li>\n
        3. Title<\/em>: the heading you want to appear above your Twitters in the \nsidebar, defaults to 'Twitter Updates'<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          WordPress 2.0.x and 2.1.x users<\/p>\n\n

          You guys should also be able use this widget if you install the \nWidgets Plugin<\/a>. I tested it\nbriefly and it appeared to work.<\/p>\n\n

          WordPress 2.5 users<\/p>\n\n

          Beware, if you leave the 'twitter-widget.php<\/strong>' file in the 'plugins\/widgets' \nfolder you will erroneously be prompted to 'upgrade' it on the 'Plugins' \nadmin screen. I recommend moving the 'twitter-widget.php<\/strong>' file \ninto the 'plugins' folder.<\/p>\n\n\n
