Now I will show you have to integrate the Twitter for WordPress plugin by Ricardo González into your WordPress blog’s design. This plugin will enabled you to display your latest Twitter Tweets anywhere on your WordPress blog.
First download the Twitter for WordPress Plugin, install it in wp-content › plugins, then go activate it in the WordPress plugins admin area.
Now, decide where you are going to place it. I will leave it up to you where to place yours, but I decided to put mine right in the site’s header.
Here is the PHP Code to implement it:
Keep in mind that it won’t place the twitter logo, so you will have to find that, photoshop it, and place it yourself. Mine is in my header.php file. I’ve used CSS to place the Twitter Section, and I have the Twitter logo that I created floated to the left.
Here is my code:
Here is my CSS:
width: 407px;
float: right;
background: none;
background-position: left;
height: 32px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-size: 10px;
float: right;
}
#twitter-tweet a, a:visited {
color: #006600;
text-decoration: none;
}
#twitter-tweet a:hover {
color: #003300;
text-decoration: underline;
}
#twitter-icon {
float: left;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
padding: 0 5px 0 0;
}
Hope you enjoy!
