The X/Twitter Widget displays a feed of recent tweets for a given X/Twitter account. Once you create a X/Twitter widget, you can choose to display the most recent feeds from a X/Twitter username, hashtag, or search term to be shown in the box. You can also give the widget a unique name and description as well as control how many tweets you want to appear within the widget. You may also encourage visitors to follow you by checking the “include a follow me” link option.
