BlogCFC JS Twitter Pod (Updated)

In march I created a BlogCFC pod to show Twitter messages using the JS Twitter badge script. Recently, Twitter changed the location of the script.

So, my script
http://www.twitter.com/t/status/user_timeline/3026521?callback=twitterCallback&count=10
changed to
http://www.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/3026521.json?callback=twitterCallback&count=10

Also, Twitter's server seems to have load issues at times. This can pause pages to render slowly while they wait for the script file. So, if you move the script include to the bottom of tags/layout.cfm, then it won't interfere with the page rendering.

The download is still available here. And I'd still love to hear if anyone uses it on their blog.

I threw it up on Single-dads.us. Still want to tinker a bit with the display..

you might want to mention in your 'readme' to uncomment the line on 68ish to get it working..

Critter,

I updated the readme at your suggestion.
Being able to tinker with the display and have it fit your site, is exactly why I put this together.
I'll have to check out your site later and see how your tinkering goes...
