Twitter account link in sidebar

[swsnr]

Hello,

I'd like to add a Twitter account link to the side bar, right below the Github button. How'd I do that? Which template do I need to edit?

sidebarintro.html (hompage) and sidebarlogo.html (all other pages) :)

You can see an example here:

I am using the Twitter button there (inspired by @myusuf3).

@kennethreitz / @myusuf3 - thoughts on whether this is worth adding to 'core' as an option (like the github button etc)? I'm leaning 'probably'.

[kennethreitz]

@bitprophet eh, it depends on the goal of the project (this project). If you want to promote people promoting their own personal brands, then yes.

I'd not say that Twitter accounts necessarily relate to "personal brands". At least, I didn't add my own account to the sidebar but the projects account which tweets about releases and breaking changes.

And likewise, a link to a GitHub repo under a personal user account promotes a personal brand, too, doesn't it?

[kennethreitz]

I think the primary use case would be personal accounts. Few projects have Twitter accounts.

GitHub link is definitely personal promotion, albeit a little less shameful/blatant, since its directly related to code, as Twitter is typically not.

For whatever reason, I think its cool.
