Contributing to this Project

Here's how you can help.

Process

In the spirit of openness, this project follows the Forking Flow, a derivative of the Gitflow model. We use Pull Requests to develop conversations around ideas, and turn ideas into actions.

Some PR Basics

• Anyone can submit a Pull Request with changes they'd like to see made.
• Pull Requests should attempt to solve a single [1], clearly defined problem [2].
• Everyone should submit Pull Requests early (within the first few commits), so everyone on the team is aware of the direction you're taking.

How to display a Twitter feed on your Google Site

A short tutorial for creating a Twitter gadget for Google Sites that will display tweets from a user or search.

Problem

Displaying Twitter tweets on your Google Sites website is difficult!
Google Sites filters your HTML code and doesn't allow you to add your own JavaScript code, therefore restricting you from adding any of the many existing Twitter widgets that exist today, including Twitter's very own.

The Google Gadgets directory contains a Twitter gadget called Twit. This is the gadget I was using in the past.
