Twitter Feed on Blogger



Once you follow the steps in this blog post, you will have a Twitter feed in your side navigation bar.

Do you want to add a Twitter feed on your Blogger? If the answer is yes, then this is the blog post for you. There are several steps in the process, but the reward is having a Twitter feed in your Blogger sidebar. I have added several screen shots to walk you through the process. Good luck!

Your journey begins at Twitter. You will need to log in to your Twitter account and then go to the following URL http://twitter.com/settings/widgets.



Select the type of widget that you want to create. You can make a feed that follows one person, a list of people, or hash tag. Hit create widget and you will receive the embed code you need for your Blogger.


Your embed code will magically appear in the window. Copy it! Now you are ready for Blogger!

In Blogger, go to Layout. You will now click on the Add a Gadget button in the side navigation bar.

The list of Gadgets will pop up and you will scroll down to the HTML/Java Script. Pick this option.

Give your Gadget a title and paste the embed code into the window. Hit the save button and you have a Twitter feed on you Blogger site. Congratulations!

  6. Thanks!
    Initially, Twitter would not let me create the widget saying that it cannot be done for protected users. Then I checked my account settings and unchecked the box which says "Protect My Tweets." Tried creating the widget, and it worked.

    btw, i work at Korean International School Philippines. ^_^

    I'm glad you found the post helpful and thanks for your problem solving. Now if someone asks me about why it isn't working, I know to check the Protect My Tweets setting.
