The 3GM Twitter Feed

12.04.09

I used jQuery and the Twitter API to grab my 5 most recent Twitter updates and embed them on this blog’s sidebar.  It only took a few lines of code to do so. Have a look…

With this code, a div tag with the id set to “twitter” and a bit of styling to the “li” elements I was able to create a quick and efficient way to grab and display my updates.

You can use this code to display your Twitter updates.  Just replace “ThreeGearMedia” on the first line of code with your Twitter ID.  You can also reset the count to however many updates you would like to grab.  I think if you remove the count var reference completely, the JSON feed will contain your 20 most recent updates.  Try it out and let me know.

Welcome

11.24.09

I’m currently working on the WordPress theme for the ThreeGearMedia Blog as well as developing our home page.

I intend to use the wordpress blog engine as an easy to use publication and organization tool instead of a regularly scheduled posting site.  In other words, I’ll be creating a lot of pages in wordpress as opposed to day-to-day blog entries.  At least for now, anyway.

So have a look around as things develop, post a comment here and there (when they’re available), check out ThreeGearMedia.net or send me an email with some feedback at jaime@threegearmedia.net.
