How To Add Your Twitters to Your Ning Network (using your Twitter account)

 

Note:
This widget is mainly used to display the Twitters you have Twittered, using your Twitter account. In other words: show your website visitors, what you're tweeting. If you look below, you will see an image of the "Display Only" example.
See information on the Interactive Widget, at the bottom of this Tip Window.

Steps:

1. Sign into your Twitter site/account, from Twitter.com, and go to Settings.
2. Your Account page will open. Scroll down until you come to: "More Info URL"
3. Add your URL
4. Below this you will see, in blue: "You can also add Twitter to your site here". You have to look for this link, kinda hidden.
5. Click on that blue line
6. A page will open, entitled: Display Twitters on your webpage
7. You will see a number of options
8. Choose the Display-only widget (right side)
9. Follow the instructions for adding Twits to your page
Very Simple to setup.

Also, coming soon: you'll be able to add our "Ning Directory Team" Twitter Account to your site (if you want). Then, you and your members can keep up with the Latest Activity and Ning Twitters, from the Ning Directory.

Twitter Widgets: What is the Interactive version of this widget?
From the Interactive Widget, you can add Twitters by clicking on the Reply button. This can get confusing. However, it's really nice to be able to send out Tweets, while on your site. And your site visitors can Tweet too. But, only your Tweets will show up in your box.
I'm using this widget on the Ning Directory, below our "Twitter Your Ning" Blog. And even there, it's a little confusing at first. It shows us what's been sent to our Ning Directory Twitter Account (http://www.twitter.com/directoryofning). And, it allows anyone to add Twitters by clicking on Reply. But, again, only the Twitters made by the Twitter Account Box owner, will be displayed in the widget. whew - - long sentence! LOL
