Add your Twitter feed to your Blogger home page

I found a couple outdated pages describing how to add a Twitter feed to my Blogger page. Since they're outdated, I thought I'd share what I found:


  1. Go to the Twitter Configurator here: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new
  2. Select what you want to show on Blogger: a timeline of tweets, your Favorited tweets, a list, a search (e.g., for a hashtag), or a collection.
  3. Select your settings (e.g., for a timeline, your username, whether to exclude replies, whether to expand photos, the height of the widget, light or dark theme, and link color).
  4. Click Create Widget
  5. Copy the html in the box below the preview.
  6. Make sure you're logged into Blogger, then go here: https://www.blogger.com/add-widget.
  7. Select the blog you'd like to add the widget to.
  8. Give the widget a title.
  9. Click Edit Content.
  10. Paste the html you copied from Twitter's Configurator.
  11. Click Add Widget.
  12. Blogger goes to your blog's Layout page. Move the widget to where you want it to appear on your blog.
  13. Click Save Arrangement.
