I have been playing around today with incorporating the Flash Version of Twitter Badge into my blog. One appears in the body of this post and one you can see at the top right sidebar position.

How easy is it to do? Fairly simple.

Here are the steps:
1. Click on the link www.twitter.com/badges or type it into your browser window.
2. Login to your twitter account.
3. Select the type of badge you want to use - the Flash Version appears in the top right sidebar position.
4. You can choose your own badge color for the Flash Version and once it looks the way you want it to, then you just copy the text displayed in the window to your clipboard.
5.  Next you would go to your Wordpress Administration Dashboard, go to your Appearance Tab and then to Widgets.

6.  Add a Text Widget in the sidebar where you want the Twitter Badge to appear and paste the code that you copied to your clipboard into the Text Widget.  Save your changes and you are all done.

The HTML version appears in this post.  There are currently three versions in three sizes available.  The HTML versions are interactive (meaning your visitors can do things within the Twitter Badge - Try it for yourself.  You simply select which style you like, copy the HTML code to your clipboard and then paste into your post, or follow the directions given above to add to your sidebar.

Play around and have some fun.

Best Regards

Tom
