A very common theme out there at the moment.\u00a0 Getting Twitter to look correctly on your blog.\u00a0 It would seem to me, that a web\/time based application, should be relatively easy to port over to any blog to show updates directly there.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been spinning my wheels over this for awhile now.\u00a0 Well, I am happy to welcome my own retardation now.\u00a0 It is very, very simple.\u00a0 So simple, Midnight can do it!\u00a0 Ok, not really.\u00a0 Haha, but darn it I sure had ya on that one.\u00a0 At this point, most people have now left my website thinking, \u2018damn that fucker for posting something to his blog to get indexed.\u2019\u00a0 Deal with it.\u00a0 I\u2019m passing information on here, I can do so however I please.<\/p>\n

Right then.<\/p>\n

*coughs and clears throat*<\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0\u00a0 Open your browser.<\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0\u00a0 Head on over to http:\/\/twitter.com\/badges<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3:\u00a0\u00a0 Follow the on screen instructions, of your blog is supported, you are Golden<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Ok, now if your blog isn\u2019t supported.\u00a0 Not to worry.\u00a0 It gets easier.\u00a0 They give you a simple output based on a range, 3 tweets, 5 tweets, however many updates you want to show.\u00a0 Then you take that code and slap it into your site.\u00a0 easy right?\u00a0 Well, sort of.\u00a0 I wanted to make something with my Twitter data that didn\u2019t comprise of a widget that looked like it came from Web \u20132.0.\u00a0 Yes, that is a negative there.\u00a0 Don\u2019t ask, it was a very messy intarweb at the time.\u00a0 Also, if I could, I wanted to find someone how to tell me to do so, in WordPress.\u00a0 An unsupported format by Twitter.<\/p>\n

*shakes fist @twitter<\/a>*<\/p>\n

Right, so the hunt began.\u00a0 And, of course like always, I found something online that was a pretty decent tutorial on how to do just that!\u00a0 Go figure?\u00a0 So, in not reinventing the wheel, installing some stupid plugin or something else that may require blood, glass, urine and toenail clippings.\u00a0 Finally, I was able to get my frakin tweets onto my blog!\u00a0 Well shit me running!\u00a0 Shat me running? That doesn\u2019t really work.<\/p>\n

It does still need some work, as the right border cuts off \u2013 simple image edit, but other then that, it looks fucking GREAT!<\/p>\n

Oh right, \u2018just give me the link already’.\u2019\u00a0 Fine, fine.<\/p>\n

Fuckin people, I swear <insert ellipsis here>.\u00a0 He does include other ways to add Twitter to WordPress and actually overall appears to be onto the idea of how to help others in \u2018blinging\u2019 their site up.\u00a0 Fuck, if I ever get a local pingback from me saying bling on here, outside of those two time, please shoot me?<\/p>\n

Ok, time to tend to my tumors and lesions.<\/p>\n
