Difficulty adding Twitter button to wordpress site

I am trying to add a "Follow" twitter button to my website www.skramshots.com

I googled it and it said to add this :

Display a Follow Button and a link to your Twitter page:

[twitter-follow screen_name='wordpressdotcom']

so I have added [twitter-follow screen_name='skramshots']

but it is just appearing up as text.

Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong here ?

I'm not familiar enough with WP to answer fully, but suspect that the information here might be relevant: https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button

Load of info here. Just add the code to a text widget anywhere on your website.

Edit:

Go to this link and add the twitter account you want to set the follow button for. Choose size etc and it will produce the code for you. Just copy & paste to your site where you want it.
