This tutorial will provide detailed instructions on how to embed a Twitter feed into the footer of a site. For more further information visit Twitter for Websites.

  • Sign into your site and select Administration from the MyDashboards dropdown menu.  Go to Portal Settings > Widget Settings.

 

  • Select the Twitter option from the Widget drop down menu.

 

  • Paste the following code into the text field:
<a class="twitter-timeline"
  data-widget-id="600720083413962752"
  href="https://twitter.com/{screen_name}"
  data-screen-name="{screen_name}">
Tweets by @{screen_name}
</a>
  • Replace the three “{screen_name}” placeholders with your actual Twitter screen name, (e.x. Thrinacia):
<a class="twitter-timeline"
  data-widget-id="600720083413962752"
  href="https://twitter.com/Thrinacia"
  data-screen-name="Thrinacia">
Tweets by @Thrinacia
</a>
  • Click on the Display in Footer checkbox to have it display on the site footer.

 

 

  • Click on the Save Widget Settings button, then click on the Ok button in the pop up. Refresh the page and scroll down to the footer to view the twitter feed.
