Hey I'm Lee. My blog was put up to house useful nuggets I could refer back to, document my learning curves on new technologies and house tutorials I write for Umbraco and other .NET stuff.

SimpleTweets For Umbraco

“Not again” I hear you shout… And yes, yet ‘another’ Twitter package for Umbraco has been created. But, this one has a bit of a twist – I have used the current Twitter packages, but although I found them great the one I used was temperamental with showing latest tweets (Although the more I look into it I wonder if its one of the settings).

Also I wanted to make something VERY simple, no API, simple settings and all done with ASP.NET – NO XSLT! No real reason, just because I can… hehehe.  So here it is, I created this SimpleTweets a really simple package that displays your latest Twitter posts in a user control and spits out the results in an unordered list.  [more]

Only settings are: Your username, your twitter RSS feed (Found on right hand side of your twitter page, see below) and lastly how many tweets to show.  It auto hyperlinks URLs, and adds nofollow attribute to them.
