Now, analyzing the structure of this URL you can see a few things which can be changed to make a board for any term http://twubs.com/embed/NING/?messagesPerPage=55&headerBgColor=%231c6485&headerTextColor=%23ffffff Change the Red for the term you are wanting the latest tweets about Change this number for number of tweets to show Change this hex color (leaving the %23) for color of header and the other for header text This entire URL can become an iFrame inside a module like so: <iframe src="http://twubs.com/embed/NING/?messagesPerPage=55&headerBgColor=%231c6485&headerTextColor=%23ffffff" style="border:0px #FFFFFF none;" name="NINGtweets" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" height="600" width="100%"></iframe> Try it on these others substituting out NING for other terms to see what I mean: SEIAD (Survey Earth in a Day) Get Fancy with Tabs in Ning 3Enjoy this time saving hack and let me know if you have any questions... |
