Latest Tweets on website

[garycwood84]

I would like to display the most recent couple of Tweets from a Twitter account on my Xara website.

I can do this using the Twitter Widget in the Content Catalogue. However, the results do not look nice: they are styled by Twitter, and so don't use an appropriate colour scheme for my site, nor the same fonts as the rest of my site.

Does anyone know of any alternative widgets or approaches that will let me integrate and style a Twitter feed?

Does Twitter have a widget or script on their website? These will always be more current than what is on offer on the Content Catalog.

You can usually add this via a placeholder to Xara.

Thanks, Gary. Twitter does have widgets available, but they are not at all customisable. It’s possible to select a light or dark version, and set whether they scroll, and if they have a Twitter header and footer, but you can change the font size or face. its impossible, therefore, to integrate them into a web design properly, because they always look out of place.
