    Default Twitter!! Y U NO WORK?!

    Okay, I could have sworn there was a forum for web/tech related questions but I cannot find it...

    A few days ago, the script to update the twitter feed thats on my website broke. I had updated my website with my phone, so I thought maybe I did something to screw up the code, and instead of spending time trying to find whatever the update did, just went to place a new code in there. That one didnt work either. Or the third one I tried to place.

    Frustrated I gave up and went to update my blog, which is totally separate from my site code. I hit update, and its supposed to link to my Twitter and generate a post about my new blog, but that did not happen. So I figured, okay maybe something wacky is going on with Twitter, but its been a couple days now, no update about my blog post, and my original twitter feed on my website still isnt working.

    Is anyone else having twitter problems? Anyyone else with a twitter feed or a twitter plug-in in their blog thats not working?

    If its just me, then I know that my website is doing something stupid, if its not just me then Ill just keep holding out till everything starts working again.

    Thanks!!

    I'm a bit confused, you're trying to get your twitter posts to show up on your blog correct? I know that your twitter itself should have a widget code that you can use, however if you want something a little more advanced I'd go with Chirrup, it's a javascript program and it'll have you add a bit of code to your blog/site and will let you organize and arrange everything that people tweet to you. You might have to get the hang of it but everyone that I've introduced to it always ends up loving it It's a great tool for integrating twitter with a website.

    Edit: I also found this, haven't tried it but it sounds like it might help? http://remysharp.com/2007/05/18/add-...-step-by-step/

    Well no, Im trying to get my twitter feed to show up on my website (not my blog),
    and also, Im trying to get my blog to update to twitter that Ive made a new post.

    They are two different functions and they worked totally fine up til two days...now neither of them work

    The plugin I have on my blog for my twitter feed to show up there is still working fine though.

    As luck would have it...the Remy script is what Ive been using for the feed on my website. And where the example of his script is supposed to show up, just says "Please wait while my tweets load" but it never shows up. Im kind of thinking Twitter must have just updated something that it affecting my scripts. Argh!

    Okay, after a ton of research, found that yeah, Twitter has made some sort of change to their API and its affecting some scripts.

    I was able to find an alternate twitter feed script for my website that wasnt affected by the change:
    http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/

    And to post my blogs to twitter with a bit.ly link, I changed to the wpTwitBox plugin.

    Hope that helps anyone who happens to have this problem!
