How To Embed A Single Tweet In Your Blog, Site etc

There are several services out there that allows you to embed a tweet into your blog or website. I don't know all of them. Some allows you to embed a single tweet at a time and others allow you to embed rows of tweets. This service Tweetpaste allows you to embed a single tweet into your blog or website. How to do it? Simply find and copy the tweet url: status link (see here if you don't know how to find the status link of a tweet). Visit the tweet paste website and insert the link. Instructions should be available over at the site. You will be given a preview of how the tweet looks. When you have copied the html and pasted it into your blog etc, tweetpaste will then notify the tweet owner on twitter by sending them a tweet and the url of the blog or site where the tweet was embedded. The only thing with this service is that it does not allow you to re-size the frame used to showcase the tweet even though they say it is re-sizable. One of the reasons for this is because it uses an iframe. iframes are not re-sizable.
