That should work, though I haven't tried it. We just used a custom html widget because we wanted it in the wrap and not as main content.

Can you insert the container div into the body of a WP page using the html tab on the editor? Or do I need custom html widget as you describe?

Toby has been a friend, client and design associate of mine for around 10 years. We have collaborated on dozens of projects together and he took my little running "R" and helped brand it into something special. My web page heading was created from elements hrsaccount which he designed a couple of years ago. I'm the most picky client anyone could ever have and it's very hard for me to find something that I like well enough to stick with. Toby hit a home run for me.

Any idea on how to include the date/time of post?
I'd love to be able to show that below each tweet.

Example...
Posted 6 days ago
Posted 1 hr ago
etc.

Christian – thanks a bunch for this info. I've been looking for this information for 3 months now. Awesome! Love how the stream automatically updates too!

Gina, the site described above is a WordPress blog. We used a custom widget (HTML) to place the juitterContainer div. The necessary .js files were ftp'd to the host server and called into the Header template.

I love the idea of this. I've been looking for a tool like this for my personal journalism blog (although I think it has great value for news sites, too.) because I really like the idea of giving people the twitter experience in context.

When you excerpt a tweet or paraphrase it, you lose some of the context, the relationship, the conversation of twitter.

Any idea if it works on Word Press blogs?

Here's an example of one of my properties, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, using Juitter. It was for a story about Swine flu in Florida.

It works.
