    Loving you’r plugin, I use it on EVERY site I create! I love the simplicity and elegance!

    I am trying to modify the layout a bit to use a table and table-cell, I basically want to try and vertically align the text within the feed, so if the div I’ve got it in is 300px (for example) the text is in the middle regardless of the amount of lines the tweet takes up… hope you follow me so far…

    I’ve used divs and p’s and using css, I’ve made the div into a table, and the p into a table-class, this works great on the first tweet, but as soon as the next one loads (regardless of it rotating or fading) it seems to ignore the class I’ve set, eve n thought I’ve added !important.

    Totally understand if this is out of your area of advice, I may have to resort to using padding, but making it centre vertically would make this uber sweet!! Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks again for your plugin!!

    Thank you for your kind words.

    It’s hard to judge how to do this on CSS without seeing the site – although the more specific you get with your CSS identifiers, the better results you will get. What are you currently using? Something like:

    .rotatingtweet p.rtw_main {
   text-align: center;
}

    ?

    An alternative is to set official_format='custom' and go with a function in your theme’s functions.php file – something like:

    function rotatingtweets_display_override($args, $tweetuser, $main_text, $twitter_object, $twitterlocale, $targetvalue, $retweeter, $show_media, $nextprev) {
	$result = "<table><tr><td>$main_text</td></tr></table>";
	return $result;
}

    AMAZING, went the custom format route, took 5 mins to implement and works perfectly!!

    I don’t think I’ll ever use another twitter feed plugin ever again!

    Thank you so much!
