1. Login with username and password


2. Write some characters and post it

Note: If you can't run BigTwitter, please download Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) and install it firstly.

How to make one twitter page in your blog

Twitter provides some plugins that can display your messages recently in twitter. But for me, that isn't enough. I need twitter to be one powerful supplement for my blog: 1. the visitors needn't go to twitter to see my message; 2. the visitors can view all of my messages by page turning.

So, I did as the below way. It is enable in WordPress.

1.make one new page, and paste the below code

<style type="text/css">
#sidebar{display:none;}
#content{width:800px;}
</style>

<iframe src="http://fanfou.com/terababy" height="1500" width="100%"></iframe>

Note:
Because most of pages in WordPress template, the sidebar always display, the work of the css is to hide the sidebar and make the twitter wider.

And you must replace the source of the element "iframe" with your twitter's profile.

2. publish the page, then you can see it in your blog




You can see the work in my test blog:

Btw, I have 2 invites in Pownce. If you need it, please leave me your email address.
