I’ve created a widget to make installing TweetRoll even easier on a WordPress blog. Here how you can do it:

Go to the “Add New” option under plugins and search for TweetRoll:

Click Install and Activate the plugin. When you go to your Widgets page you’ll see a new widget called TweetRoll. You can add it to a sidebar and configure it by adding your Twitter username.

That’s all you need to do. You should now be able to see your Tweetroll in your sidebar.

Let me know if you have any problems.

The widget is actually processed on TweetBurn so it doesn’t affect your API limit. It’s actually quite cool and I had the opportunity to think a lot about caching and other techniques while writing it.

Hmm .. looking at my widget I think I may need to come up with a new avatar. Not sure if I should wear eyeglasses or contact lenses for this one though.
