I've recently configured a Twitter widget and copied the code. I want that Twitter feed to appear ONLY on the blog page for my WordPress site....not as a sidebar widget throughout the entire site. So, how can I add this Twitter feed to this blog page the best way so that feed is a static image feed like it currently appears? I customized the Twitter widget so it's 300 pixels in width. Ideally if I could put it at the bottom right, could it be done so it appears as a static widget and appears in each blog posting? Wondering . . . .

    I think you need to implement a twitter feed plugin from WordPress. Try access their wordpress plugin place you will find a workable one

      Lance I remedied the situation....look at the blog page and see the sidebar. I appreciate your input though and thanks!

          when I created that widget in my Twitter account, I went to SETTINGS (little gear icon in upper right of page)>WIDGETS in bottom of "Account" list on left side of page>created my chosen widget and copied that code. Opened up my WordPress dashboard and chose a blank widget from the widget settings and pasted that Twitter code into that blank widget and add positioned the widget in my sidebar.
          Initially, I wanted to place that Twitter feed directly inside my blog page but feel it has a greater impact as a sidebar widget throughout the entire Wordpress site I am building., as I can inconspicuously place or position that feed anywhere I want (higher or lower) in that sidebar. When you initially make your Twitter feed, while you're configuring that feed, you have another "directive" code supplied by Twitter whereby you can paste the main code into that directive code and that allows you to manipulate the width and heighth of that custom widget. Although I wish Twitter would allow for greater flexibility when making the background color as there are currently only two options of "lighter" + "darker". The darker background is what I chose but then you can enhance the look by changing those link colors in the twitter feed to any color to make it stand out - as you can see, I chose yellow. If you have questions regarding the custom Twitter feed configs, drop me an email, I'll provide more info and feedback, thanks for all your input on this
