How to get this type of Twitter feed in Sidebar

https://www.kristarella.com/2009/01/display-your-tweets-without-a-plugin/

Thank you for the response Samuel. The link you mentioned stated placing the code in the custom_functions.php for the thesis theme. I however do not have a custom_functions.php file and I am using a different theme, is there some other file where I should place the code? Thank you!

ignore the thesis bit if you don’t have it

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>

put this bit in your theme’s header.php before the </body>

<ul id="twitter_update_list">
	<li>
		<span>@<a href="https://www.twitter.com/matpacker">matpacker</a> OMG, hope you're not too damaged!</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/kristarella/statuses/1122887200" style="font-size: 85%;">19 minutes ago</a>
	</li>
</ul>

put this bit where you want the tweets to show – like in a text widget in the sidebar or maybe on a tweets page, etc.

thank you for the help with this. and my apologies for sounding dense on this issue, but my html / code knowledge is amateur……. where do i need to place this part mentioned in the link provided:

“A dash of HTML

Then in the spot on your page where you want to show your latest tweets, you place the following code.”

<div id="twitter_div"><ul id="twitter_update_list"><li>&nbsp;</li></ul></div>

this works better than what I showed above and combines the 2
<div id="twitter_div"><ul id="twitter_update_list"><li>&nbsp;</li></ul></div>

put this bit where you want the tweets to show – like in a text widget in the sidebar or maybe on a tweets page, etc.

Thanks again Samuel.

I am working on placing it in a text side bar widget.

What I have done so far is implemented this into my header and changed the “username” to my own:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>

I have then placed this into my text widget for the sidebar:

<div id="twitter_div"><ul id="twitter_update_list"><li>&nbsp;</li></ul></div>

but I am not getting anything to display. Do I need to add CSS to my stylesheet to get this to work or add anything else anywhere else? Thank you.
