Thank you for the twitter code. I was wondering is there a PHP code that will show the visitor tweeted posts from your blog ?
that would be a good reward for visitors to tweet your posts.
thank you for sharing.
Hi,
I was wondering how to add the @ in front of the tweet account name and make the @username clickable. I can’t seem to figure it out.
Thanks!
To clarify, right now I have this:
joshuaiz: RT @jeremythegirl: Friday and Saturday night at The Downtown Comedy Club. Shows start at 9pm. Where are you going to be?
I would like the “joshuaiz” above with the @ sign and clickable.
Thanks!
Thanks. I do appreciate it. All I wanted to do was display a single Twitter feed in my header… I’ve been sorting through pages and pages of plugins and they all do way more than I need or want. So I appreciate this.
