Twitter has become phenomenally popular around the world. So if you are an avid blogger and a twitterer yourself, then you must be wondering how to synchronize them both? Here is a simple trick that will add twitter gadget to your blog so that you can be updated on both in a single window.

You only have to copy/paste the code into your sidebar. Follow the steps given below to add the widget into your blog's sidebar.

  • Log in to Blogger.
  • Go to Layout > Page Elements.
  • Click on Add a Gadget.
  • Select HTML/JavaScript from the list. Copy/paste the code given below and Save.

< div id="twitter_div">
< ul id="twitter_update_list">
< a id="twitter-link" style="display:block;text-align:right;" href="http://twitter.com/itsme">follow me on Twitter
< /div>
< script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript">< /script>
< script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/itsme.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=10" type="text/javascript">
< /script>

Repace itsme by your twitter username. You can also select the number of message updates you want to display by changing the twitterCallback2&count=10 part to any number.

Happy blogging and twitering.
