- Go to Settings > Tweet Blender and enter the URL of your custom archive page (e.g. 'http://your-site.com/some-custom-page-name')
- Edit that custom page and include
<?php tb_archive(); ?> in its HTML. Note that to make PHP work in page content you might need to add another plugin such as PHP Execution plugin
- Eidt the page where you want to include the widget and put
<?php tb_widget(); ?> in its HTML.
