Holy! I didn’t know Twitter recently made embedding tweets on blogs posts SUPER EASY NOW! Very nice: play-this.org/2011/12/13/emb…

Very nice! Links are clickable and the author name is clickable. You can even follow the user from this embedded tweet. (Kinda overkill, but that’s okay.)

And it’s SUPER easy! See the text “Embed this Tweet” on the screenshot above? That’s from the pernalink for the tweet. Click on that link and you get the code.

I learned about it when I found this post – there are *much* clearer instructions on how to do this: “Embedding Tweets is Easier Than Ever With Latest Twitter Update”.

Note: The Tumblr Dashboard destroys the embedded tweet styles (of course), so you’ll need to view this post on my blog to see how it looks

I did a little experimenting and it looks like if you are embedding a @reply then the original tweet shows up above it. Brilliant.
