It seems recently the width of my tweets got wider and now my 3rd column is pushed to the bottom of my center column.  I have a very wide page layout and need to fix that, but is there a way for me to reduce the width used by the widget?  My other widgets on the left are narrower.

Thanks,

Mike

I have a similar request. I would like long urls to wrap instead of continuing off to the right of the sidebar. Where can I add a maximum width to the the twitter widget?

Firefox 3.6 wraps long urls to the sidebar width, but Chrome and IE8 allow them to continue off to the right.

This can be fixed with CSS.  You can either force the text in the link to wrap, or you can hide overflow on the container so that it doesn't stick outside the box.

Upset at my slow responses recently? Please read my explanation.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I used "text-wrap: normal; word-wrap: break-word;".

Where in the CSS script do you put the code?

That would really depend on what your CSS currently looks like.  Can you link to your site?

This may sound completely dumb, but I am new to Wordpress and have no clue where to find the CSS so I can edit it. Where is it?

Hello. I am having the same problem as you are. I just installed the widget and the the

length of the tweet text is "overflowing" outside of the boundaries of the sidebar. 

I do not  know where to place the CSS code and what code to place to correct this problem.

Could Mike and I both please have the dummies version of how to fix this? It really is looking pretty ugly on my blog Cry

And may I also suggest that this be a user adjustment that is built in to the program setting in future versions please?

 

Thank you all for reading and thanks in advance for your assistance.
