Add a Twitter feed to your site

Q: Why am I not seeing any tweets when I set the Twitter widget to my username?

A: In most cases this is caused by not tweeting anything for 7 days or more. Only tweets up to 7 days old can be searched for. This is a restriction of the Twitter API, and is completely out of our control, sorry.
