your WordPress site as a widget.

 * A follow link to your profile
 * The number of tweets, subscribers and subscribed for your profile
 * Your recent tweets (including rich content with Twitter links for hashtags and
   @username, URLs and img tags for images uploaded to Twitter)

Note: This plugin requires the use of cURL to be installed and active on the web
server
