Fairly easy once you know how, but this was initially a bit trickier than I had imagined, mainly because most of the “how to” guides on the web are out of date. So with the caveat that this worked in May 2013 but will probably not if you are reading it next year, this is what you need to do:
Stage 1: Twitter
- log on to Twitter and go to settings
- in “Create and manage your Widgets” select New
- a settings page will come up but the defaults work fine
- press create widget
- some code will appear (highlighted) in a box above where is says “Copy and paste the code into the HTML of your site” (a copy of the code for your new Widget will be stored on the Widgets page for future use) copy this code, and move on to stage 2
Stage 2: Blogger
- log in to Blogger (the overview page), and select the layout option
- an outline of your blog will appear, with various spaces marked “add a gadget” select one of these (probably best to choose one down the right hand side).
- A box will pop up: in the basics tab, scroll down to find and select “HTML/Javascript” and press the + button
- add a title such as “my Twitter feed”
- paste the code from Twitter into the “content” box and then press save
done!
