 * Just adding twitter to site for first time. No problem installing Twitget. Followed
   YouTube video on twitter account setup. Copies over keys and codes (twice to 
   be sure)> But getting the error:
 * Twitter outputted an error:
    Could not authenticate you
 * Two unknowns I can see…
 * 1. should this be checked?: Allow this application to be used to Sign in with
   Twitter
 * 2. Under OAuth settings,what should the Request URI be?
 * What else should I check?
 * Thanks.

 * Appreciate the response. But as I said in my original note.. I followed the YouTube
   video with no success. The video did answer the questions regarding the Twitter
   account settings:
 * 1. should this be checked?: Allow this application to be used to Sign in with
   Twitter
 * 2. Under OAuth settings, what should the Request URI be?
 * Do you know the answer to these? Anything else I should check?
 * Thanks. m

 * You don’t need to use any of those. You login with your twitter account on [http://dev.twitter.com](http://dev.twitter.com).
 * I’ve just started creating a test developer account, when you enter the basic
   settings; name, description, website (leave the callback url blank) you then 
   go to a new page, there you click the button “Create my access token”. Wait a
   while, refresh the page and copy the respected values to the settings area. (
   these are marked on the screenshot)

 * Not sure what the problem was, but I re-createded my access tokens and all is
   well. Looks great. Appreciate the quick response. Mike
