 * I am trying to past a Twitter button HTML code into a Text widget, once I hit
   save, it never saves, I just see the thing spinning for ever.
 * I tried to do the same thing with a twitter feed from my twitter account, past
   into text widget and then hit save, it never saves. I tried in all 3 browsers
   and same issue.
 * Any suggestions?

 * What is your HTML code ?
 * Twitter API server faces downtimes. Try with a easy code (like that of image 
   logo).

 * Thanks I think you are right… I was able to put in one for Facebook and other
   things… I thought it was WordPress but I think you are correct, it was a twitter
   issue. Thanks for responding!

 * That thing creates problem for me frequently. I searched and found for myself
   in dev.twitter.com to fix that, Twitter shut downs the API server when it faces
   overload.
 * But right now it is not down :

 * I am using Theme integrated widget though. I check with others to see if its 
   wrongly or Twitter is working wrongly.
