I tried to put my Twitter button up in my sidebar so you could follow me… but it turns out I am not smart enough to do that without help. So I am going to just keep posting my deliciously clever words until you tell me to stop. If you really want to follow me on Twitter, I am at: @ArthurBrowne1.
We also do funny games over there where you combine two topics… like dental songs… or rejected Bond movie titles… I am really good at those. I might have to post some of them after I finish up with my random statements…
Here are some more of them:
———————————-
*Always want them leaving more… HA!
*I feel petty, oh so petty, I feel petty, and wilted and despised…
*I will never forget whatever the hell it was that just happened here…
*I have my way with words… I mean ‘a’ way with words… I don’t force myself upon them…
*Together, we can make all my… uh… I mean all our dreams come true…
*A little of me goes a long way… but the rest of me just sits in the recliner…
*I am going to get to 30,000 hits on my blog today… even if I have to resort to full frontal nudity…
*Just let me dribble my thoughts directly into your brain… what could possibly go wrong?
*They say still waters run deep… but I have met a lot of still puddles in my time…
*All you have to do today is not kill anyone… is that too hard? Is that too much to ask?
*Half of one, six dozen of the other… that’s what I always say…
*I am making a plum pudding… only the English could invent plum pudding… you need a special kind of fat to make it…
*Come on, famous people, answer my dang Tweets so my daughter will think I’m cool… I can’t do it on my own… she’s 22…
*Unfollowing is like breaking up with someone… and not telling them you did…
*No… you’re right, unfollowers… it wasn’t working out… you should just go… and never look back…
*Hey… unfollow this… (insert rude hand-gesture here)…
*Yeah, I would unfollow you too, but I never followed you in the first place… I guess I won that round…
*If I had a hammer… you would all be much nicer to me…
*I am tangled up in the interwebs… feel free to suck out my vital juices… no… like a spider… why do you always have to go there?
*I like to cover all the bases… especially third base… mmmmm… third base…
***(These are from the day the Mayans said the world was going to end)***
*Don’t forget to comb your hair before the world ends… I was going to say take a dump, but that will take care of itself…
*Screw it, I am not going to brush my teeth for the end of the world. And I sure ain’t going to shave… take that, fate!
*Really, you unfollowed me on the day the world ends? Who does that???
*I am not watching the news today, so if the world ends, I wont even know about it…
*I never did figure out what I should wear for the end of the world…
*At exactly noon, everybody go outside, point at the sky, and start screaming…

Pouring My Art Out 
Bond? James Bond???
Well of course.
Go to settings on Twitter and find the widgets. Click to add a widget and copy the sequence of numbers in the address bar following your Twitter handle. Paste the numbers in the Twitter timeline widget on WordPress in the ID space.
I did that… I got some text… but no button or link…
You don’t get a button or link. It just gives you the numbers in the address bar and you have to copy them and paste them in your WP Twitter timeline widget where it asks for your ID. If you created the widget on Twitter already you can go back and edit it then get the numbers as I outlined and just save it again. There might be another way to do it but that’s the way I figured out so it might not be the “proper way”.
So if there is no link, I could just use the text widget to type in my twitter name… right?
Nope. There’s no need for a link. You just take the 7 or so number sequence following the twitter address in the address bar on Twitter then put those numbers in the ID space on your Twitter timeline widget on WordPress. Save it and it should appear on your sidebar or wherever on your blog you have widgets.
I thought I use the twitter create a widget thing? I am so confused… I now have my blog on the dashboard widget page… and another of my blog open so I can talk to you… and the twitter widget page open…
Yes, you do that. But you also need to go to your widgets on your blog and select the Twitter timeline widget. When you have that open it should have a space for your Twitter ID. The ID is the number sequence you get once you’ve created a widget on Twitter, which you’ll locate in the address bar near the end of the address (the bar you type web addresses in on your web browser). Once you’ve located the numbers in the address bar after creating the widget on Twitter right click them so you can paste them into the widget (Twitter timeline) on WordPress widget page. Paste them into the space where it asks for your ID in the Twitter timeline widget on WP on your blog’s widget page. Save and close before leaving the page and visiting your blog homepage.
I don’t even know how to scroll to the side in the address bar thing… to find the numbers…
Just click your cursor at the beginning of the numbers and drag your cursor over the entire sequence of numbers-nothing else-just the numbers. It can be tricky but make sure you just ‘copy’ the numbers and not text along with it. You’ll see the numbers highlighted in blue if you have dragged the cursor properly. You need to drag and hold it so it stays highlighted until you can right click to ‘copy’.
I did it… now I just need to figure out if it works and if I want the tweets to show… thanks so much.
You’re very welcome! 😀
You rock…
Thank you. You’re going to make my head big now! 😉
I gave you a shout out ion my new post… my blog looks so professional now… thanks to a lot of help from people with normal brains… sigh…
Aw, thanks 😀 I’ve never been called normal before….
I know how you feel… but compared to me…
LOL 😉
Trust me… it’s a good thing…
I believe you…
Hey… would I lie to you?
😉
And what do I do with that code they give me under the widget maker in twitter…
Don’t worry about that. WordPress doesn’t need that info.
I did it using the code they gave me… and it just comes up saying follow me on twiiter and then my tweets
I thought that was what you wanted? Do you mean the box that is like a plug in (similar to the facebook ‘like me’ box) or just the button with text under it?
It says follow me on twitter… and then my tweets… no info on my twitter name or a way to find me…
Oh, I see. I visited your page. That’s not what you want. You used the Text widget, right? You need to find the “Twitter Timeline” widget on the widgets page where you found the Text widget you used. Don’t use that. Use the Twitter timeline widget. It’s specifically for that.
I am using that… I have tried every combination of cutting and pasting the code… whole code. just the numbers.
Oh wait… holy cow… I think it worked that time… I think the last time I did it I used the quotation marks too. Why do they make this so hard??? Thank you so much. I love you man!
LOL, YAY! 😀
I am such a goober…
Haha, no the widgets can be a little tricky when you’re not used to them.
I am a computer moron… but they could have made that easier… I read all their info pages… never said anything about just using the number.
LOL, I only found it after quite a bit of help topic searching! Then I did it for all my blogs so basically had it memorized, lol.
That is awesome. I wish I had real life skillz…
Haha, me too. You found one of my few I do possess 😉
Being all art-side-of-the-brain sort of sucks.
Yes, in this world it does kind of suck 😛 I’m right brain dominant but try to be left brained at times to fit in
I don’t even fit in my clothes…
ROFL, oh boy. Maybe you need some new clothes! 😛
I could stop trying to get thinner…
Are you overweight? You look like a healthy size in your pics but I confess I have little qualification to comment. I’ve never been able to see bodies accurately in the perceptual sense. People I think are the same size as me are usually larger and people I think are thinner than me usually are the same size as me. As you can tell I am a bit messed up in this area 😦
I have lost 50 pounds… I was heavy, and didn’t even know it. But I am 6 feet 4 inches tall… it spreads out. I am about 20 pounds over my high school weight now.
Wow, congratulations then on getting back in shape! 🙂
Did you read the post I did like a week ago about the boot camp class at the gym? My body still hurts…
Haha, no I will have to read it!
Well that is what that stuff is there for… this is my whole life we are talking about…
Ha, well I will make a pit stop at your blog soon 😉
Yes… once again my shameless self promotion kung fu is too powerful to resist!
LOL, I need to acquire a bit of this ‘shameless self promotion’….however, I am embarrassed by attention so will likely stay a wallflower.
I like flowers…
Aw, shucks….
HA!
No pressure…
I read it. Good job for not passing out in front of the older woman and young girl! 😉
That was my favorite part.
I don’t know if you can click on it and go to my Twitter feed… and I don’t know if I really want the tweets to show up here…
It tells me to paste the code into my html???
There is an html (Text) widget on WP but it isn’t the same thing as the Twitter Timeline widget.
Do you follow the HashTag game posters on Twitter? That is what I tend to over-post when the mood strikes me and I think I have an amusing answer (note: ‘think’ is the operative word there).
I don’t know what those are…
You totally got me. I can’t even point to a favourite. You really seem petty interesting… despicably interesting.
You just got a follower on Twitter -totally on the grounds of merit!
Yay, merit! But I am rather droll, aren’t I?
And who doesn’t love a gut-ripping drolly?
Well, err, depends on the contents of the gut.
Yeah… let’s not go there,…
Ha!
I’ll help you if you want email me if you want the help
Help me what?
with setting up twitter on your page
I followed the directions… do I use the Twitter timeline widget?
if you want to did you look at the different option to see which one you like best?
I tried to…
and?
I got text in my sidebar, but no working link or button.
haha, you have to put in code
I got help from someone and did it… but it wasn’t easy…
Great! Did you learn how now? It is complicated!
Nowhere in the instruction pages on twitter did it say to just copy the numbers, not all the code.
I know it took me a long time to figure that out too! ha
They could make that so much easier…
Yes they could I agree!
