=== Usage ===
1. Get JQuery. In these examples, we use Google's AJAX Libraries API.
- http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/
- http://jquery.com/
2. include jQuery and jquery.tweet.js files in your template's <head>.
<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>
3. Also in <head>, Initialize tweet! on page load with your Username and other options
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(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>
4. In <body>, include a placeholder for your tweets. They'll get loaded in via JSON. How fancy!
<div class="tweet"></div>
5. Style with our stylesheet in <head>, or modify as you like!
<link href="jquery.tweet.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
