WordPress.org

1. Download and extract WP Tweets zip file to the plugin folder. Verify that you have the wp-tweets folder right inside the plugin folder.
2. Activate WP Tweets from WordPress plugin administration page.
3. If you are using Widget system, add the WP Tweets as a widget. Configure twitter username, maximum tweets to display and title from the Widget properties tab.
4. If you embedding WP Tweets code, use <?php show_wp_tweets('twitterusername',3,'');?> in your theme file sidebar.
5. Customize appearance suitable for your theme by modifying wp-tweets.css file inside the plugin folder. You can modify three style selectors - ul#wp_tweets_marker, ul#wp_tweets_marker li and ul#wp_tweets_marker li a. Following is the sample selector declaration that I use for my site. Note the use of !important to override default CSS inheritance rules.

ul#wp_tweets_marker li {

border:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

background-image:none !important;

background-position:0px 0px !important;

padding:0px 0px 5px 10px !important;

font-size:11px !important;

font-family:Verdana !important;

line-height:20px !important;

}
