The top black banner of the widget, where my avatar and name are located, is off center. My avatar is on a row above my name and it looks really weird. I’ve tried to adjust the width but this doesnt seem to work. Please advise. Thanks!
@Heath,
May I know what is your website URL so that I can take a look?

thank you for your help
@Heath,
It is caused by your CSS of your WordPress theme. I have tried to remove your CSS and save it into static HTML page and it works fine. But now I don’t know which part of your CSS is causing the problem.
Is there a way to limit the number of tweets being displayed? I don’t want a scroll bar on the TwiBadge.
Thanks!
@Taylor,
I have release a new version to allow you to configure number of tweet shown.
First, thanks for this great plugin!!!
It works fine, but in some twits with tags with accents, like #conciliación, it shows the full word but the link tag is until the accent, in this example, conciliaci (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23conciliaci)
Are there any solution?
Thanks.
Pdta: Sorry for my English
@Rafa,
Thanks for using TwiBadge. Currently I do not have solution for this issue because this section is controlled by Twitter. I will check with Twitter to see if they can get it fixed.
Ok,
I will wait the solution from Twitter.
Thanks for all.
