For WordPress, add something like this to your functions.php:
<?php
add_action('wp_head', 'addTallTwitter');
function addTallTwitter() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
var followers_count = $.jStorage.get("followers_count");
if (null === followers_count) {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json',
data: {screen_name: 'eatfindr'},
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(data) {
$('#followers').text(data.followers_count);
$.jStorage.set("followers_count", data.followers_count, {TTL: 60 * 1000});
}
});
} else {
$('#followers').text(followers_count);
}
});
</script>
<?php
}
?>
Then add the css to your styles, and the html to a template file.
