No, you put your twitter RSS into the RSS widget. There IS an RSS feed for your twitter account.

This is my account:
http://twitter.com/raincoaster

This is my feed:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/15579178.rss

you need to make the RSS WIDGET feed “http://twitter.com/raincoaster” do not make it your actual rss address

No, you need to make it http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/15579178.rss THAT is the RSS feed address.

I tried following the directions listed above, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Blog: mirelesminute.wordpress.com
Twitter Feed: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/7891912.rss

This is what is currently listed on the blog.
Unknown Feed
An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

Any help is appreciated.

mirelesminute your problem lies with your feed from twitter and not with the wordpress blog.

Check your twitter settings it appears you have it set on private, which means the blog can’t read it.

Is there any way to keep it private and have the blog read it?
raincoaster · Member · Feb 22, 2009 at 3:29 am

No, that’s the opposite of Private.

privacy settings on a RSS subscriptions (in this case the twitter feed) are “all” or “nothing”.
as Raincoaster has suggested.

I have tried multiple times to get Twitter to work, following the directions for the RSS feed and it continues to read:

An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

Can anyone help?

I am also trying to get the Twitter feed and am getting the same error message: An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

My Twitter account is not set to private, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

Link to Twitter account : http://twitter.com/VolunteerKC

Can anyone help?

Nevermind. I figured it out. Once you login to Twitter, you need to click ‘Profile’ and then ‘RSS feed of (your account)’ If you click the RSS feed from your homepage without clicking on ‘profile’, the RSS URL won’t be the user URL, but rather the friend RSS feed URL.
