Shows a random tweet from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget.

== Description ==
This plugin displays a random post from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget. 

The plugin is based on the Twitter API version 1.1 and requires you
to create a personal Twitter Application on the [dev.twitter.com](https://dev.twitter.com/apps "dev.twitter.com") website.
Within your Application, Twitter provides two strings: the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret.
You also need two other strings, the Access Token and the Access Token Secret, that you can get
following [this guide](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom "this guide").
Finally, enter all the Authorization string in the widget options box, along with your favorite display settings: your Twitter Widget is now ready and active!

You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple websites. 
Just remember to store them in a safe place!

Your PHP environment needs to have the CURL and OPENSSL extensions enabled.
