Display your latest tweet without a plug-in
If people like your blog, they would probably also enjoy your tweets. Displaying your latest tweets on your WordPress blog is a good way to gain new subscribers. A plug-in can do that, but for such a simple task, I prefer a hack. This one grabs your latest tweet and displays it on your blog.This ready-to-use code can be pasted anywhere in your theme files. Just don’t forget to change the value of the $username on line 4. The $prefix and $suffix variable can be used to insert a title, and the div element can be used for further CSS styling.
// Your twitter username. $username = "TwitterUsername"; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before your latest tweet. // (HTML is OK, but be sure to escape quotes with backslashes: for example href=\"link.html\") $prefix = "Save the file, and your latest tweet is displayed on your blog. Nice, huh?My last Tweet
"; // Suffix - some text you want display after your latest tweet. (Same rules as the prefix.) $suffix = ""; $feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1"; function parse_feed($feed) { $stepOne = explode("", $feed); $stepTwo = explode("", $stepOne[1]); $tweet = $stepTwo[0]; $tweet = str_replace("<", "<", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace(">", ">", $tweet); return $tweet; } $twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed); echo stripslashes($prefix) . parse_feed($twitterFeed) . stripslashes($suffix); ?>
Create a Page that shows twitter updates on your blog/site
Twitter is the best way to publicize and advertise your blog or site and to stay in touch with followers. We already showed you how to display your latest tweet on your blog, in your sidebar for example. Another good way to introduce readers to your Twitter updates is to create a dedicated page for displaying your tweets, using the powerful “Page template” WordPress option.
To perform this hack, you need to know how to create and use page templates. If you’re not familiar with this, this article will tell you all you need to know.
Here’s the code to create a Twitter page template. Paste it in a new file, name the file something like twitter-page.php, for example, and then add it to your blog.
This code uses the wp_rss() function from WordPress core, which is an RSS reader. In the first argument I pass my Twitter RSS feed, and in the second argument I determine the number of entries to display.

Hack-It - Modify the way windows are on your system.
Hack-It is a window manipulation program. It allows you to control any window on your system in several different ways not normally available to you through the standard Windows user interface. The major functions you can perform on windows are: making a window visible or hidden, causing a window to stay on top of others or not stay on top of others, adding an icon to the system tray for a window, and having that window minimize to the tray, adjusting the transparency of a window, manipulating process priorities to give a window's process more CPU time, standard window functions such as restoring, minimizing, maximizing, and closing, and forcibly terminating a process.
