Embedding Tweets is Easier Than Ever With Latest Twitter Update

Are you still trying to decide if you like Twitter’s latest changes? Some new features may help change your mind.

Blackbird Pie. Ring a bell? If it does you now that it was one of the lesser known tools that Twitter supported, and it allowed bloggers, writers, and anyone with a website that used HTML to insert a single tweet while retaining the Twitter look. Sort of. Quite frequently it failed to look the right way, and if you used WordPress such as our site it would always break the code when switching between HTML and Visual appearances.

On December 8 Twitter released their latest changes, and with it came quite a few features that made half baked tools like Blackbird Pie obsolete.  Now with three simple steps anyone can embed a single tweet.

Easy as 1 – 2- 3

Click on a tweet that you want to embed

Select “details” from the expanded tweet

Click on “Embed this Tweet”

You will then be presented with a window and HTML code. There are a few other options like adjusting the alignment of how the tweet will appear, and a shortcode for blogging platforms that use them.
