## Description

Displays your Twitter timeline in the sidebar of your blog. The plugin is widget
ready and comes with many configuration options! Because every theme brings their
very special style, Twitterwidget has very little preset css. Please see the css
file `twitterwidget.css` to set collors, borders etc.
