TwitStamp :: Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the ID of a single tweet?

Click on the date of the tweet you want to use.

Then copy the number that appears in the URL bar of your browser.

My tweet won't show up, or it says "User does not exist!"

Make sure that your profile isn't private. If it is, either make it public from Twitter or follow "twitstamp" on Twitter. This will allow TwitStamp to "see" your tweets.

What are the different URL options for TwitStamp?

Image URLs work in the format http://twitstamp.com/your_username/the_theme.png

your_username can either be a valid Twitter username (we will display the latest tweet from this user) or in the format single-000000000 where the zeroes are a valid tweet ID. This will show a single tweet.

your_username can also be in the format card-your_username, which will display a profile card - perfect for blogs!

Valid theme names are standard, divided, and stitched. Themes can be found on the Generate page as they are added - check that out for the latest theme names.

Why isn't my TwitStamp displaying my latest tweet?

We cache our Twitter data to reduce load on both our servers and Twitter's servers, so it may take a couple of minutes to update.

Can I follow you on Twitter?

You can follow TwitStamp here, or Kyle here. Chris doesn't have the "life" necessary to maintain active twitter updates.

Can I use my own image?

To maintain our high standard of design quality and our linkback to TwitStamp, we don't offer custom background images at this time. We're currently brainstorming possible ways of implementing this feature in the future.
