Add your Twitter timeline to your site with Ptwix

There are dozens and dozens of these applications, scripts and widgets available, but one of my favorites it is definitely is Ptwix. Simple script that you can use it on your website or blog, that shows your Twitter timeline with a very cool design.

The installation process it’s quite simple, just uploaded to your current server and modify the configuration files with your Twitter account. Since the code is based in PHP and AJAX you will be able to use it in almost any platform, including WordPress of course.

The configuration file is named PtwiX_reader.php and you’ll only need to edit these lines:

$username=”yourtwitterusername”;
$password=”yourtwitterpassword”;
$url_path=”http://www.mysite.com/ptwix/”;
$cache_folder=”/var/www/examplesite/ptwix/cache/”;

You also have three different themes to choose or even design one of your own. Here’s a demo of the script working and a simple procedure about how to install it.
