Get JQuery. In these examples, we use Google's AJAX Libraries API. See: code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/ jquery.com/

include jQuery and jquery.tweet.js files in your template's
<script language="javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" src="/tweet/jquery.tweet.js" type="text/javascript"></script><head>. -
Also in
<script type='text/javascript'><head>, Initialize tweet! on page load with your Username and other options$(document).ready(function(){ $ (".tweet").tweet({ join_text: "auto", avatar_size: 32, count: 3, auto_join_text_default: "we said,", auto_join_text_ed: "we", auto_join_text_ing: "we were", auto_join_text_reply: "we replied to", auto_join_text_url: "we were checking out", loading_text: "loading tweets..." }); }); </script> -
