Go to your Google Sites: 

•  Then, sign in to your Google Sites account.

• Upload the xml file to your Google Sites attachments.

• Copy the URL location of the attached file (you can right-click the Download, then copy link address - remove the ?attredirects=0&d=1 )

• Edit the page.

• Then click Insert ▶ ... More Gadgets ... ▶ Add gadget by URL

• Paste the URL (of the Twitter widget xml) you copied earlier.  (*Delete the highlighted part of the pasted url)

• Set the width and height for the gadget. Then un-check the border/scroll and title option of the gadget.
• Click OK, and save your page changes. That's it. You have your Twitter timeline shining on your Google Sites.

***Make sure your Google Site is shared PUBLIC as it will not work correctly on a privite sharing setting.
