 * The dynamically created links to Twitter within the widget nearly all point to
   non-secure http URLs rather than https versions. These all get redirected to 
   https by Twitter, but it would be better if they pointed to https URLs in the
   first place. I can’t see that this is a setting, but correct me if I’m wrong.
 * As an example, within the ‘latest tweets’ widget in the footer of this page: 
   [https://www.prototypeprojects.com/](https://www.prototypeprojects.com/) the 
   hashtag links and the date/time stamp links point to http (incorrectly) whereas
   the follow and followers links below them point to https (correctly).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flinks-to-twitter-should-be-https-not-http%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
