![How To Embed Tweets In A WordPress Blog [Tutorial]](https://spiderworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wordpressblogedge.jpg)
Twitter conversations can make a good foundation for a blog post. If you embed tweets in a post you can showcase some great tweeters, share responses to a question you have written or collect together a bunch of tweets from happy customers for a testimonials page.
The good news for self hosted WordPress users is that it’s really simple to embed tweets to a post or page. Here’s how.
I discovered this trick when I was collating tweets as a roundup of the We Teach Social #TalkingSoc tweet chat. Although Storify does it more effectively I like that when we embed tweets we can include them on our own website as part of a longer blog post. If you don’t use WordPress you can get the embed code for a tweet by clicking on ‘More’ underneath the tweet and ’embed’ from the drop down menu.
Have you used embedded tweets as part of a blog post? Did you know you could skip the longer embed tweet version? Let me know below.

I’ve done this a couple of times and as you say, excellent for highlighting something good. A twitter follower once tweeted a photo of pepper plants she grew from the seeds I sold her in my gift cards which was a fantastic promotion to help me advertise them more! I’ve never used storify but one to remember if I ever do a veg chat twitter night again.
That’s a great idea. I’ve only really seen them in blogs to document something, as a case study or to highlight a discussion. I like the idea of sharing tweets of customer stories.
I really must do this for the tweets I’ve received re compliments on my book because they are hidden within favourites now. Would be a handy authentic way to show little testimonials. Pity some of them were via dm’s – one person’s started with ‘In all fairness’ …… I’m not sure what he expected 😉
I’d love to hear what else he said!
Just had a look to see if I could find it on the phone but don’t see it. It was something like ‘In all fairness, it was actually good’ – as if he had discussed it with someone and had thought it was going to be rubbish / weak. I didn’t know whether to be insulted or pleased so settled on feeling amused 😉
