Custom Twitter Page for WordPress Blog
I have recently updated the Twitter Plugin clearing some CSS bugs. I have been getting some request to post the details how I have created this twitter page on my blog.
To create this page you need to do the following
Create a custom page called something like Twitter Template. To do that copy your page template from the template folder and name it something like twitter.php. On the top of the template page like the code given below

<!--?php |
|
1 |
<span style="color: #008000">/*</span> |
|
1 |
<span style="color: #008000">Template Name: <a href="http://www.kish.in/twit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> Page</span> |
|

<span style="color: #008000">*/</span> |
|

?> |

<!--?php get_header(); ?--> |
|

<div style="color: #006080">"content"></div> |
|

<div style="color: #006080">"contentleft"></div> |
|

<div style="color: #0000ff">class=<span style="color: #006080">"postarea"</span>> </div> |

<div style="color: #0000ff">class=<span style="color: #006080">"hpbottom"</span> style=<span style="color: #006080">"margin-left:-10px;"</span>> </div> |
|

<!--? <span style="color: #0000ff">if (function_exists(<span style="color: #006080">'printKishTwitter'</span>)) printKishTwitter(); ?> |

<!--?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.<span style="color: #006080">"/sidebar.php");?> |

<!-- The main column ends --> |

<!--?php get_footer(); ?--> |
Save this file to your template folder (activated template). Please note that this is an example, you need to create this file according to your activated template.
Once you have created this file, create a new page using this template. You can name this page as Twitter and you can leave this page blank. You can see as I have shown in the image on the left, you need to select the template as the Twitter page, which you have created above.
Save the page and check how its looking. You can adjust the width and height of the widget by changing it in the plugin settings from the Admin Panel.
You can update your twitter status using this page, view latest updates, twitter followers, public timeline, etc. This page will update the data without loading using ajax.
The update text box will appear only to the admin and your visitors will be able to view the updates, etc. Hope you enjoy this plugin.
