   Tweet text is not wrapping within the widget. It goes off to the right and cannot be seen. How can we fix this?

   Hi ridewithjoe,

   That is caused by a CSS rule from the Twitter script itself:
   http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.css

   Specifically, this:
   

   .twtr-widget h3,
   .twtr-widget h4,.twtr-widget p {
       margin:0!important;
       padding:0!important;
       line-height:1.2!important;
       width:auto!important;
   }

   The width:auto!important; is causing the problem. I'm not sure why (I can't recreate it on my test site), but I suspect it has something to do with your Theme's CSS.

   Try defining max-width, e.g.:
   

   .twtr-widget h3,
   .twtr-widget h4,.twtr-widget p {
       max-width:185px;
   }

   Chip,

   Thanks for the tip. I will see if I can figure out how to change this. I will let you know.

   If you want to try and recreate this on your test site, you can find the theme here:

   Just FYI, Joe, you got that Theme from a spammy source that has added a spammy footer link.

   You can find the original referenced in your Theme's readme file:

   Your suggestion worked fine.

   I added style tags just before the call for the javascript in your widget and it altered the sidebar perfectly (once I padded the container properly to position it.)

   This isn't the best theme in the world but I'm not a coder either so it was a good start for me.

   Thanks again. This has been bugging me for over a year.

   Chip,

   Yeah I found those spammy pieces in the footer some time ago and took them out. It was interesting, they uuencoded theme or something. I never saw anything like that before. I think it's clean now. I don't mind giving credit but the shadyness of the code concerned me.
