<p>A Widget that uses jQuery (if you want) and Twitter to fade in and display a user’s tweets one at a time, then fades into the next.  You can set the amount of tweets and how long they stay before they fade into the next tweet.  The tweets are in an infinite loop.  It only uses the jQuery library that comes with WP.  It is simple, but if you know CSS you can make it look very very nice.</p>
<h4>Twitter API 1.1 Keys and Tokens</h4>
<p>You now have to go to <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/apps/" rel="nofollow ugc">Twitter’s Dev Section</a> and create an “app”.  Please don’t be terrified by this.  It takes 5 minutes.  The hardest part is copying and pasting the keys once they are created 🙂</p>
<ol>
<li>Go here and login with your Twitter account: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/</li>
<li>Click ‘Create New Application’</li>

<li>The “Callback URL” can be empty</li>

<li>Next, click on “Create My Access Token”</li>
<li>Create your token, you will need the following: Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access token and Access token</li>
</ol>
