    Hi, I followed the twitter feed problem but all it shows is the title of the widget. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hi,

    I am getting a syntax error from your JavaScripts. I am assuming this is what's causing your widget to not work as a syntax error stops all scripts from running.

    You have this content in JavaScripts management :
    ( Modules > javascript codes management )
    Code:
    <script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/agamersgaming.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http:

    This is HTML which refers to an external script. It should be added to where HTML formats. ( e.g. widgets, html page, homepage message ) Also the last script tag is cut off at the source.

    I think added that section to the CSS.

    It didn't specify which code goes where in the tutorial so I was confused, I think I still am.

    This goes into the widget :
    Code:
    <div class="twitterfeed"><div id="twitter_div" style="margin-left: 35px; padding-top: 3px;"><ul id="twitter_update_list" style=" list-style-image : url(http://hitskin.com/themes/13/34/38/i_icon_minipost_participate.png); font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><li style="padding-top: 3px; padding-left 20px;"> </li></ul></div><p align="right" style="margin-top: 2px; font-size: 11px;">recently twittered on <a href="http://twitter.com/forumotion">Forumotion</a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/forumotion.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>

    In the HTML above you must modify this piece to the information which corresponds to your twitter account :
    Code:
    <a href="twitter.com/forumotion">Forumotion</a>

    You must also edit this part in the HTML above :
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/forumotion.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1">

    As mentioned :
    There are 2 things you have to edit here.
    1) - statuses/user_timeline/your twitter account name.json?
    * - change the twitter account from forumotion to your twitter account

    2) - twitterCallback2&count=1
    * - my code only displays your last tweet. if you want the last 2 or 3 you have to change the "count" to your desired number of tweets. (don't go over 5 it doesn't look nice)

    This is the code I put it.

    Code:
    <div class="twitterfeed">
       Â 
       <div id="twitter_div" style="margin-left: 35px; padding-top: 3px;">
          Â 
          <ul id="twitter_update_list" style=" list-style-image : url(http://hitskin.com/themes/13/34/38/i_icon_minipost_participate.png); font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">
             Â 
             <li style="padding-top: 3px; padding-left 20px;">
                Â Â 
             </li>
             Â 
          </ul>
          Â 
       </div>
       Â 
       <p align="right" style="margin-top: 2px; font-size: 11px;">
          recently twittered on <a href="https://twitter.com/agamersgaming">AGG</a> 
       </p>
    </div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/agamersgaming.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=2"></script>

    Could it be the /user_timeline/agamersgaming.json?, I put agamersgaming because that's the Twitter account.

    This doesn't seem to work anymore : http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/agamersgaming.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=2

    There is a better way on twitter :
    Go to Profile > Widgets > Create new > User timeline

    Fill out the information, then click "Create widget" and copy the provided code to your widget.
