I was DM’d a message from twitter today and thought I’d blog the answer.

The question is: “Hey Paul, quick one for you,how did you get the twitter counter into your live space as the script code is blocked when saved Thx”

I did this by adding a custom html widget to my live spaces page and using the little code snippet:

<a href="http://twittercounter.com/?username=pagalvin" 

 title="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin"> 

 <img src="http://twittercounter.com/counter/?username=pagalvin" 

 width=88 

 height=26 

 style="border:none" 

 alt="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin">

</a>

This uses a version of the twitter counter widget interface that gets past the windows live censor thing that we all hate so much and wish would get a bad case of poison ivy.
