Embedded Tweets – 1 Way To Make A Tweet Last Forever
Embedded Tweets – Making The Tweet Last Forever!
I had some peeps really like the embedded tweet feature the other day that I used in my post so I thought I would share how to do it on your website or blog. The funny thing is the plug-in I used the other day did not work today or yesterday but I found a better one today that allows you to see the background of the tweet. This plug in is called Twitter Blackbird Pie. There are a few other embed tweet plug-ins available too for your choice.
This one it really is simple as pie!
Step 1 – How to Embed a Tweet – Find the Tweet and Click on It!
Step 2 – How to Embed a Tweet – Click on Embed This Tweet
Step 3 – How to Embed a Tweet – Copy the URL ID
You then just paste the id of the URL you copied from on Twitter in the blackbird pie code. A very simple way to embed the tweets. Don’t you love the way embedded tweets look?

Of course if you do not have a WordPress (self-hosted version) blog or website you cannot have plug-ins but if you have blogger blog or website I can refer you to Mayura4Ever who did a post on that for blogger blogs. Check out his post to learn how to embed tweets for your blogger blog.
Are you using embedded tweets on your blog or website yet?

I like how this plugin includes the background! If you don’t have WordPress or if you don’t want to install another plugin (too many plugins can slow down your site) you can simply embed the link directly from Twitter. Just open up the tweet (right hand corner) then click on details (on bottom above favorite). There it will have the individuals tweet and a link that says, “embed this this tweet” – just copy and paste the code into your blog post, and you’re done.
Well I learned something new today Lisa, thank you for that. Not sure I’ll use it but I’ve always been curious how they did that. Looks like I’m not the only one too. Ah, learned something new. I love that.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks again.
