 * All of the Twitter posts on the side bar are not hyperlinking correctly?
 * They appear as
 * [http://www.domainname.com/”http://twitter.com/name](http://www.domainname.com/”http://twitter.com/name)

 * Ooops …. this should be in the ‘fusion’ theme section!

 * I managed to fix this by replacing a method in functions.php:
 *     ```
       // theme widget: Twitter
       function fusion_TwitterWidget($args){
        extract($args);
        echo $before_widget;
        print $before_title.__('<a href="http://www.twitter.com/'.get_option('fusion_twitterid').'">Twitter posts</a>','fusion').$after_title; ?>
   
        <?php
        $username = get_option('fusion_twitterid');
        $limit = get_option('fusion_twitterentries');
        if($username<>'') {
         $feed = file_get_contents("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=" . $limit);
         $feed = html_entity_decode($feed);
         $clean = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed);
         $amount = count($clean) - 1;
         print '<ul id="twitterupdates">';
         for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++) {
          $cleaner = explode("</content>", $clean[$i]);
          print '<li class="entry">';
          echo $cleaner[0];
          print '</li>';
         }
         print '</ul>';
        }
   
        echo $after_widget;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note: I also made the title of the widget link to your twitter id’s twitter page:).
   Hopefully this helps!
