The graphic does not show up only a white question mark in a blue box. What am I doing wrong? I have checked the file path and the photo is in the correct folder. How do I keep from running into the rate limit on Twitter API?

    Caching. We recommend that you cache API responses in your application or on your site if you expect high-volume usage. For example, don't try to call the Twitter API on every page load of your hugely popular website. Instead, call our API once a minute and save the response on your end, displaying your cached version on your site.
    Rate limiting by active user. If your site keeps track of many Twitter users (for example, fetching their current status or statistics about their Twitter usage), please consider only requesting data for users who have recently signed in to your site.
    These are just some example strategies. We're happy to work with you to come up with solutions that keep your application and our API running smoothly. Just shoot api@twitter.com an email.
