INTERNET MARKETING

This is for a niche site, and I don't necessarily want to display updates, I just want an attractive 'follow us on Twitter' graphic that when clicked will take them to the Twitter page. I want to display this on the right hand sidebar. Is there a plugin for this, or is it better just to create my own graphic? Many thanks

  Thanks Gary, that's really kind of you, but I'm looking for something bigger and with the word 'us' instead of me
  
  Thanks

Here is a link to a bunch of twitter "follow me" badges. (Not my website)
181 Free Twitter Buttons, Badges, Widget and Counters to Help You Find Followers

Find an image you like and save the image to your hard drive.

Next, upload the image to your site.

Go to Wordpress Dashboard>Appearance>Widgets (If you have a widgetized theme)

Add a TEXT widget to your sidebar (Drag & Drop)

Put this code in that TEXT widget (With the URL of your image of course)

Code:

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/yourtwitter"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/twitterbutton.jpg" border="0">

Click Save

You should now have a "follow me" button in your sidebar.

Let me know if you need more specific help.

It might be more than you are looking for but I use the Twitter Widget Pro on my WP sites. If you set the show posts to 0 it might give the result you are looking for.
