What does this do?
Prints tweets from a specified Twitter account in their simplest form.
How do I use it?
Simply insert the tag into your page or template with the username parameter: {chirps username="cmsms"}
What parameters does it take?
- (required) username - specifies the Twitter account to retrieve tweets from. This is case sensitive and must match how you have it set within Twitter
- (optional) tag - specifies the tag to start and end each tweet i.e div, h1, h2 (default p, do not include open or closing tags)
- (optional) tweets - specifies the number of tweets to display (default 10).
