I’m really liking this feed, but is there any way to display the user’s avatar and the timestamps?

Nice script,
works perfect on my local server but not on the providers one. Are there more settings possible?
I get this message “Sorry, Twitter seems to be unavailable at the moment…” often.

@Kamran: You’re welcome. Don’t you hate when people package code examples to the point where customizing is a major PITA?

First article i have come across that was at the right level of simplicty/effectiveness of just getting your statuses online and working.
Which still blows my mind. I wrote this article back in November because I couldn’t find any code from, well, actual programmers. Almost a year later and the library of solid scripts out there is still really limited. Is that some kind of a sign?

loving the no BS approach.
I have a strict “no-BS” policy.

Thanks for the very useful code. I wanted a simplified version where I can use my own css.

as for the person getting the “Fatal error: Call to undefined function twitter_status() in” error…. your php does not have cURL support on your server. You will need to get the lib installed if you want this to work.

My bad everyone, thought I had already linked to the article describing how to automatically create links out of URL's in text, but apparently did not, so there you go. I actually cover my entire setup in a 3-part series. I've added a small menu to the bottom of each article to make finding them a little easier. Add your comments and questions wherever necessary.

First, this is a great tutorial and great product. I am also interested in getting the HTTP links to work as well. I see it working on your main page and I would like to know or see the code on how you got that to work.

Any thoughts on why the links in the twitter feed aren’t working?

The timezone thing works great, my issue is with the http:// that i put in my tweets, like twitpic etc… they aren’t made into hyperlinks on my website. Any thoughts?

@Damien: It sounds like this code is still a little above your skill level, because it definitely works when applied properly. You should hit up a programmers forum for more assistance.
