This means you'll place the code where you want your tweets to appear. Point to a spot you like and put the widget there. 

Because each theme's HTML code is slightly different, you'll need to familiarize yourself with it beforehand.

For example, I'll put the Twitter embed in the area, which is inside the div. This code can be found in the third column.

You can also use the Twitter widget in other places, such as the Simple theme's sidebar.

Step 9: Paste the Code.

Now, in the file, paste the code you just copied from Twitter.

Step 10: Press on Save.

When you're finished, make sure to save your work.

In the end, it should look like this:
