I’ve seen a few plugins out there for displaying your tweets in widgets but you don’t really need them unless you’re trying to do something special.

You can use WordPress in built feed widgets to do exactly what your after.

Watch this 1 minute video

Go to Appearance->Widgets in WP admin.

Drag an RSS Widget over to your sidebar and rename it “Recent Tweets” or whatever you want.

Open your twitter feed in another browser tab and look for the “RSS feed of BlogPiG’s tweets” in the bottom right of the twitter sidbar.

Copy the link of the feed and then paste it into the RSS widget you still have open in WP admin. Mine was http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/21875500.rss

Choose “How many items would you like to display?” I chose 10.

“Display item content?” has no effect.

“Display item author if available?” has no effect.

I chose not to “Display item date?” it’s your call.

Save the settings and visit the frontpage of your blog to view your twitter sidebar feed in all its glory.

If you’re like me and don’t like the RSS badge next to the title of the widget then simply add the following code to the bottom of your style.css in your template directory and it will instantly dissapear.

.widget_rss img {display:none;}

And there you have it, Twitter updates in your Wordpress sidebar in less than 5 minutes with no plugins!
