If you have a homepage and a Twitter account, you do not want to update both everytime you write something. And you neither want to deceide where to write it. Here is the solution. You can build in a little widget to your homepage that shows your Twitterstuff. Second you can install a little tool that sends everything you write as an information to Twitter.

This is what you need to do, when you like something nifty like the widget on your homepage:

Grab the HTML code provided by Twitter here:

http://twitter.com/widgets/which_flash

In Joomla, create a Custom HTML module, give it a Twitterish name, paste the HTML code from above in there, make some adjustments about size and position and then... wonder why it does not work....

Go back to the source code of your module and realize that the pasted HTML code is only glibberish. Swear loud and clearly.

Go back on the web and google the solution! Install a proper HTML editor (like JCE) and make it your default editor. Go back to your module and paste the HTML code again. Save. Go back to your homepage and smile happily.
