Add Twitter updates to your signature
By Koka Sexton • Mar 28th, 2008 • Category: Geek BreakI wanted to spruce up my blog by adding my Twitter updates directly to the site. Most people do this by adding a widget or some code into the sidebar. I wanted something a little less obvious to keep it off my main page and take up space. I found a tool that lets you use a bit of PHP to add your Twitter update to any part of your website.
SimpleTwitter: allows Wordpress blog owners to add Twitter messages to their templates. Once installed, the plug-in is used by adding the following call in a template.
<?php get_twitter_msg(); ?>After activating the plugin and configuring it to your user name, you can place the code anywhere in the WordPress loop. I chose the signature line. Unorthodox but still effective.
The only thing that would make this better is if I could activate hyperlinks that are in my Twitter updates.
