<p>Twitter User Timelines is a plugin that tries to do Twitter feeds right. Instead of the inflexible Twitter widget I built the whole thing using the REST API. This allows me to use regular ol’ HTML and CSS to style everything. It gives <strong>you</strong> a lot of power since you can override the default look in any way you like.</p>
<p>The widget allows you to show different tweets where it makes sense. You can choose to show a post’s current author’s tweets for example. You can override the default Twitter user on single post, single page and author archive pages.</p>
<h4>Setup</h4>
<p>Please note that since the Twitter API requires authentication you will need to create a Twitter application to get a consumer key and secret. This is super easy, I’ve included instructions in the Installation section.</p>
<h4>Thanks</h4>
