This plugin was created out of a desire for a more simple Twitter plugin. It handles all the heavy lifting of getting the tweets, parsing them, and adding links where appropriate. However, it make no assumptions regarding style. It outputs everything in an unordered list and requires that you apply your own styles via your theme.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin is aimed at developers. However, most themes (including the default WordPress theme) default styles work great.<\/p>\n\n

Requirements:
\n* WordPress 3.4 or later
\n* cURL must be installed on your server
\n* A Twitter account<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install and activate the plugin<\/li>\n
  2. Add the sidebar widget to one of your widget areas<\/li>\n
  3. Enter a title and your twitter handle (username) and click save<\/li>\n
  4. [OPTIONAL] Apply custom styles<\/li>\n
  5. YOU'RE DONE!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    Do I need a Twitter account to use this plugin?<\/dt>\n

    Yes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What if I don't have cURL installed?<\/dt>\n

    If you are able, you can install cURL your server. Otherwise talk to your system administrator so they can do it for you.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
