    Hi Martin – When I installed the Rotating Tweets widget in my site’s sidebar, it is defaulting to a very narrow width. You can see it in the footer of sandbox.contemporanea.us. I tried adding the Max-width code to my css but nothing seems to alter the appearance. I’m using the WP Carbon theme (responsive). Any ideas?? Thanks!

    Try version 2 of the script on the settings page. It’s much more friendly to responsive sites!

    Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately that didn’t seem to change anything. I’ve also contacted the theme developer, but if you have any other ideas…

    And something like:

    div.rotatingtweets, div.rotatingtweet {
        min-width: 287px;
    }

    doesn’t fix the width?

    Ah – that works! Thanks and thanks for the quick response!
    So that’s good for the width issue. Though now I notice other strange things:

    The intents are not appearing inline but instead are wrapping to separate lines. Also, at first the tweet will appear in the proper place just under the title (Recent tweets) but once the rotation starts it jumps way down to the bottom of the footer (essentially below where the first tweet appeared). Any other things I can try?
    Thanks again.

    The problem is that the cycle-sentinel slide isn’t being hidden or overwritten.

    What about:

    div.cycle-sentinel {
         display:none;
    }

    Hi – That didn’t seem to do anything, but what did work was adding a fixed height –
    div.rotatingtweets, div.rotatingtweet {
    min-width: 250px;
    height: 5px
    }

    I am not a CSS person (full disclosure, so this was a total trail and error :-). If you have a cleaner code for me, please LMK!
    Still not sure how to get the intents inline, but that’s not such a problem now. thanks

    Try

    .rtw_intents a {
        display: inline;
    }

    Worked! Just needed to add the div. …
    div.rtw_intents a {
    display: inline;
    }
    Marking this as resolved. Thanks!
