Twitter Plugin for Wordpress

I want Twitter in this site.I look for twitter plugin, i stumble upon Alex King’s Twitter Tools Plugin. It’s a great plugin, but Alex’s plugin required Wordpress 2.1 or higher, and my Wordpress isn’t in this requirement. Try it anyway, shows up an error.

Then I stumble upon David Wood’s Simple Twitter Plugin. Download, extract, upload, activate and manage plugin. I do what Read Me says, put a php code in Celophon Colophon Page, no Twitter posts, because plugin code, which is in php, doesn’t allowed inside WORDPRESS POST

Put php code in a sidebar, guess what? Twitter shows.
I want Twitter in a Celophon Page, not in a sidebar.

I guess somehow php code should be allowed inside WordPress post. James Van Lommel RunPHP Pluginis a plugin to put PHP code into a post and have it eval()’d.
Download, extract, upload, activate and manage plugin. Choose to run PHP code ? in Write Page, paste Simple Twitter php code, and save.
