Online Notifier 1.4 Ignorance about Second Life
Jul 10

I’ve added my twitter feed to this site, down the right-hand side.

If anyone else who runs a Wordpress blog wonders how to do this, here’s roughly how I did it:

  • Log into Twitter and visit the badges page.
  • Select options “Other”, then “Html/Javascript”.
  • In the sample code given, copy/paste everything between the div tags (including the div tags themselves) into the sidebar.php file, which you’ll find in your Wordpress theme folder. If you prefer to make the changes straight to the server (instead of locally and then uploading via FTP) then you can do that by logging into your Wordpress dashboard and click “Design” > “Theme Editor” > “Sidebar”.
  • Copy/paste everything between the script tags (including the script tags themselves) into the footer.php file, which you’ll also find in your Wordpress theme folder. Place just before the closing body tag. The reason for putting it there is to help your website load when the Twitter server is feeling icky.
  • Customize the CSS file if you want, which will also be in the Wordpress theme folder.
