Even better if you can Tweet from your mobile phone… link to facebook another time!
As I’m tackling this, so I’m going to enter info/thoughts as I go. jQuery is currently on version 1.3.2 this tutorial uses 1.2.6. You can get it from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js via google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
Okay now I just need to incorporate it into the side bar of this blog… The tutorial is based on WordPress 2.6, however in the current 2.8.5 widgets are designed using the new widget API, http://wpengineer.com/wordpress-built-a-widget/ so I’m going to leave that for another day.
