Add a Twitter Widget to your ActiveRain blog!

Recently I emailed members of the Active Rain "Virtual Office" group. I asked if anyone needed more comments on their blogs, and how I could help them. I offered to feature blogs in our Virtual Office group.

The response from my fellow AR members was tremendously positive! Some were requests for information, like my friend Karl Peidl.

"I was wondering if you could do me a bit of a favor. Though I love the social media thing, I'm not very tech savy. On your blog post you have great widgets at the bottom for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Do you have or know where I could get some dummy-proof instructions so I could add these to the bottom of each of my posts?"

Now if you've read Karl's blog, (http://activerain.com/blogs/kpeidl) you know that he's a pretty sharp guy. And offes superior customer service to all of his mortgage loan clients. He's helping home buyers and he's an expert in his community. So why not give a hand to a fellow AR member?

I typed up a tutorial showing step-by-step how to add a Twitter widget to your ActiveRain blog. Then I printed it out in PDF format and emailed it to Karl.

Did the instructions work? I wondered....

"Thank you. The directions worked perfect." Karl wrote back a few minutes later.

I popped over to his blog to take a peek at his new, improved blog:

Ta-da! Success!!

Putting the Twitter widget on your ActiveRain blog is fun -- and simple too.

Anyone else want a copy of the little tutorial I wrote up?

Just post a comment here, and I'll email you my PDF instructions.

You, too, can have a great Twitter Widget on your ActiveRain blog, just like Karl!

Good information for the ActiveRain users that have not already done this.

Regina: I found at least 20 widgets that I would like to add to my blog. .except that I notice when someone is heavy in the widget side. .your blog takes longer to open up.

My blog creates leads for me and I want instant response. I would put a widget that will only serve a potential purpose to bring me more money . .otherwise I'll pass

Regina: I would love to know how to do this too. thanks for offering!

Regina, Thanks I could use that info too

Regina - Thanks again for your quick response and very easy to use directions.

Great timing on your shot of my blog page. I will be immortalized here for my BBQ ribs and tweeting with Alyssa Milano. :)
