Twitter Cards and Genesis?

[KenTheriot]

Has anyone successfully added Twitter Card functionality to their Genesis site? Someone on another forum said her used a plugin for this called "JM Twitter Cards." But when I installed that, it conflicted with Slim JetPack, which I installed only for the sharing tools - so they would show up well on mobile devices. Apparently JetPack also has added Twitter Card functionality. but I couldn't find it in Slim JetPack. Frustrating.

Does anyone know a good way to add Twitter Cards functionality AND have good social sharing that works on mobile?

Thanks.

Thanks Andrea. I'm still a bit confused though. That tutorial says: "Next thing you need to do is go to your user profile page, Users » My Profile. You will see a new field under Contact Info for your twitter username." This is supposed to happen after you add your Twitter username in the Social area in the Yoast Plugin.

So I added my business Twitter Username and checked the "Add Twitter Card Metadata" box. But when I go to my user profile, there is no new field under Contact Info for the my Twitter username.

Any ideas on that? I DO have a bunch of social profile fields there from another plugin though - AuthorSure - which is for dealing with rel=author and other author stuff. I'm wondering if that Twitter entry will work for the Yoast Twitter Card functionality.

Thanks again.
