How to Add a Twitter Profile Widget to Blogger

If you use Twitter then you are going to want to let your Blogger readers know about it. One effective way to show your Twitter updates on Blogger is to add a Twitter profile widget to the sidebar of your blog.
This widget is quite a bit more fancy than the current Twitter Updates Widget available through Blogger
On the minus side the widget may slow your blog down so test it out first if fast loading time is crucial to you.
