As a site manager, all you need to create a Twitter block is to go to /block/add/twitter and provide a Twitter URL.
A Twitter URL can be:
a profile, e.g.
a collection, e.g.
a list, e.g.
or a likes timeline, e.g.
Same but different
You tweet, therefore you like. This means that displaying a profile or a likes timeline is just as easy as pasting in the relevant path in the Twitter URL field.

4 things to note
Now that you can use profiles, collections, lists and likes timelines in Twitter blocks, it's important to remember that, ultimately, Tweets are curated by whoever manages the Twitter account you choose to reference.
You might be surprised to find that:
- Pinned tweets do not appear at the top of the Twitter block
These tweets will only be pinned to the top of your Twitter profile - Retweets that provide no context are not ideal
Avoid retweeting shoutouts, replies and kudos that do not explicitly reference the original tweet in the text - You need to be careful which accounts are included in your lists
If off-color language is a concern, vet your list members to see if they ever use it - do not work with the new block
Note that iOs and Android support for Moments was .
