 * I just downloaded the widget and followed the tutorial and set up the keys, etc.
   On my website however, it shows Twitter, but below says “could not authenticate
   you” I’m sure I made an error some where but can’t figure out where. Any idea
   where I could have messed up?

 * Update:
 * So I removed the widget and deactivated the plugin and re-activated it. I now
   get this error
 * Twitter outputted an error:
    Bad Authentication data
 * Kinda stuck and confused :/

 * Are you behind a proxy? If you are behind a proxy or your server provider is 
   behind one it won’t work.
 * Did you enter all the data correctly?
 * Cheers.

 * And today it is all working fine again. Even the issue where the twitter links
   weren’t working, is now working.
