• NOTE: Twitter Feed: As of the recent API changes and Twitter now charging us to pull Tweets, the feed may only work sometimes because we are being rate limited. We are looking into alternate options. The hashtag, search, retweets, replies, and load more option will also not be available until further notice. If your feed does connect, we suggest setting the cache time to at least 3 days or more.
