Installing Tweetboard on Blogger

Oleg Ignatiuk Jun 28, 2009

You can easily install Tweetboard on your Blogger account as well:

  1. Open Manage account page
  2. Click on "Layout" tab
  3. Click "Edit HTML"
  4. At the bottom, right *above* </body> line insert your tweetboard code, and replace "&" with Picture_4.png:
<script src='http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&amp;amp;user=yourtwitteraccount' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

 

Edit: New and improved URL format that works better with Blogger

<script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>



That's it - you are all set!

I placed the adjusted code directly above the </body> tag so it looks like this:

</div>
<script src='http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&amp;user=throughwaters' type='text/javascript'/>
</script>
</body>
</html>

 

And I get this error message:

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "body" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

 

Any suggestions?

I also have this exact same problem: 

I placed the adjusted code directly above the </body> tag so it looks like this:

</div>
<script src='http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&user=throughwaters' type='text/javascript'/>
</script>
</body>
</html>

 And I get this error message:

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. 
XML error message: The element type "body" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

I've tried both fixes above  (&amp; and 1.0&) and neither works.  Suggestions for installing on Blogger....

That seems to have helped. But use the code from this page: http://bit.ly/1JtNr. It didn't work for me from this page. Thanks!

There is an extra slash in the code after type='text/javascript' />.  It should look like this:

<script src='http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&amp;user=yourtwitteraccount' type='text/javascript'>
</script>
