I encourage twittering! It’s fun, and its good marketing for your blog! Sign up at Twitter.com. Fo’sure your first order of business will be to follow me! @multimom, and then ya know, if there’s time, there’s Heather too: @relocatedyank. 
You might even be able to ask questions there, since ya know, we do it! (unlike the posting around here!) Sorry ’bout the posting bit… I got a little carried away. But no worries. I’m carried right back. 
1. Sign up for twitter
2. Upload this great plugin: Twitter Tools, and then you can put your tweets in the sidebar of your blog.
3. For Firefox, use TwitterFox addon to add or read tweets from the status bar of your browser. (If you use Internet Explorer, you really should take my advice and go here.)
4. Then go find a pretty icon like these: Twitter Icons, and upload it to Photobucket.
5. To put in your sidebar, copy and paste this code to a Text Widget (Found under “Appearance” in the 2.7 version):
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/multimom"><img src= "insert photobucket url here - begins with http:// and ends with .jpg" alt="" style="padding:5px; border:none;" /></a>
Replace the red text with your twitter name, and the green text with the direct link of that twitter image you put in photobucket. If you want your image to line up next to another item, insert this
float:left;
in the style quotation marks (in blue).
Any problems? Leave a comment and I’ll answer them. Happy tweeting!
I just wanted to thank you for your easy to follow directions on how to do this! I, who can’t seem to do anything in regards to WP sometimes, lol, was able to follow it exactly AND do everything in your post – only once! – and get it right
Great post!
oh my goodness… thank you! i look everywhere and i could figure this out! perfect!
I too want to same thank you for the easy directions on how to add the Twitter logo to my wordpress blog. I spent two hours on the word press forum and a google search — just as I was reaching the point of utter frustration, I found you on Google and you provided just what I needed. Thanks again!
Ready to Use

i just love Twittering compared to blogging. i was a blog addict and now i am a Twitter addict.
Twitter is the newest craze today. i tweet at least 5 times a day on my friends just to keep them informed about my whereabouts. I still keep my personal blog though.
