Twitter Account

Image
After making a widget for Pontifex , Pope Francis twitter account, I decided to visit my own twitter account. I have discovered that the privacy setting was in private which is the reason that the very purpose of putting the twitter account is to dissiminate my work how little it may be. So that others may also learn from it, in some way or another.  It is also inspiring to see that even a private setting could generate 145 followers with additional 42 following which is still pending for approval. As well as tweet from a follower who says: that my blog, this blog is informative and inspiring. At least I have some feedback. Thank Mei. So, I am putting this widget and to be able to do it, I am changing my settings on privacy from private to public. Tweets by @frjessie
