Question

I know its possible because I have seen it on many websites but how do I embed twitter comments into my website in the footer. I just want it to show the last 5 comments from a twitter account basically.

I dont expect you to tell me I just want somebody to steer me in the right direction of tutorials or something.

Thank you

I recommend you use a jquery plguin, such as this:

http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/

Easy to follow and simple setup.

Example:

jQuery(function($){
    $(".tweet").tweet({
      join_text: "auto",
      username: "seaofclouds",
      avatar_size: 48,
      count: 3,
      auto_join_text_default: " we said, ",
      auto_join_text_ed: " we ",
      auto_join_text_ing: " we were ",
      auto_join_text_reply: " we replied ",
      auto_join_text_url: " we were checking out ",
      loading_text: "loading tweets..."
    });
  });

Hope that helps
