Is there a way to fetch my latest tweet in plain-text form using javascript?
I was going to use fsockopen(), but my host does not have that enabled.

Dolphin,

The twitter API provides for this.

Try the following:

body {
	background-color: #e0e0e0;
}
/* ul container */
#twitter_update_list {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style-type: none;
}

/* a single line entry */
#twitter_update_list li {
	margin-bottom: 2px;
	padding: 3px 10px;
	background-color: #99ccff;
	border-width: 1px;

	border-left-color: #cceeff;
	border-right-color: #003366;
	border-bottom-color: #003366;
}

/* the tweet itself */
#twitter_update_list li span {
	color: #003366;
	font-size: 10px;
	font-family: verdana;
	letter-spacing: 0.1em;
}

/* the tweet link */
/* by default it has font-size:85% */
#twitter_update_list li a {
	font-size: 9px;
	letter-spacing: 0;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>

<body>
