How To Display Your Latest Twitter Tweet Work Around For WP.com
Edit: This Tutorial is no longer relevant because of a recent twitter update by staff for WordPress.com
This topic has been brought up in the forums many times without a solution So I”m here today to say their is a simple work around even though it doesn’t look as nice as a Java Script widget. But it serves the purpose since here at WordPress.com we can not use Java script for security reasons.

Hello, Phear I totally agree from your stand point
but some WP.com Members would like to see faster
Tweet updates on their blog and don’t care if it blends
with the blog or not.
The current problem with the RSS approach is it usually
takes a couple of hours to update since the RSS Feed is cached.
