Overview

Caches last successful tweet retrieval and only updates if it successfully gets a new list from Twitter.
Practically every element has a unique class so that it’s highly customizable via CSS.

There are various configuration options including:

  • Title
  • Twitter Username
  • Max Tweets to Display
  • HTML to override the View All link
  • Time Placement (whether or not the timestamp should appear before or after the tweet)
  • Time Format (uses PHP’s date() function for formatting)
