   Hey guys,

   I am having a problem getting the Twitter Tools to display correctly on my blog's sidebar.

   here is the code I have so far

   <?php if (function_exists('aktt_sidebar_tweets')) : ?>
                   <div class="dbx-box">
                           <h3 class="dbx-handle" title="Latest Tweets">Latest Tweets</h3>
                           <ul class="dbx-content">
                               <?php aktt_sidebar_tweets(); ?>
                           </ul>
                   </div>
                   <?php endif; ?>

   The problem I am having, as you can see, is there are ul li /ul tags inside the aktt_sidebar_tweets function, and the dbx_content. I have tried changing the ul li tags to div tags, that didn't work. The problem is the ul li tags that are in the aktt_sidebar_tweets function, are pushing the twitter text too far over to the right, so I was wondering if there was a CSS tag, that would prevent the text from pushing too far over to the right side?

   because I tried removing the ul li tags from within the plungin itself, but the plugin breaks :( so I don't know how to fix this?

   erra, what I mean is, I tried changing

   <ul class="dbx-content"> </ ul >
   to

   <div class="dbx-content"> </div>

   that didn't work, its still pushing the twitter text too far over to the right insde dbx-content, in the sidebar.

   its because there are ul li tags inside the 'aktt_sidebar_tweets' function, I know that much.

   I tried removing the ul li tags from the aktt_sidebar_tweets function from within the plugin, and that broke the plugin for some reason, so I thought maybe I could put a CSS code in there to make it not push the text over to the right when it encounters a ul li tags, but I don't know how to code that in CSS? Does anyone know how to do that?

   first I tried changing

   $output = '<div class="aktt_tweets">'."\n"
   		.'	<ul>'."\n";
   	if (count($tweets) > 0) {
   		foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
   			$output .= '		<li>'.aktt_make_clickable(wp_specialchars($tweet->tw_text)).' <a href="http://twitter.com/'.$aktt->twitter_username.'/statuses/'.$tweet->tw_id.'">'.aktt_relativeTime($tweet->tw_created_at, 3).'</a></li>'."\n";
   		}
   	}
   	else {
   		$output .= '		<li>'.__('No tweets available at the moment.', 'twitter-tools').'</li>'."\n";
   	}
   	$output .= '		<li class="aktt_more_updates"><a href="http://twitter.com/'.$aktt->twitter_username.'">More updates...</a></li>'."\n"
   		.'</ul>';

   to

   $output = "\n";
   	if (count($tweets) > 0) {
   		foreach ($tweets as $tweet) {
   			$output .= aktt_make_clickable(wp_specialchars($tweet->tw_text)).' <a href="http://twitter.com/'.$aktt->twitter_username.'/statuses/'.$tweet->tw_id.'">'.aktt_relativeTime($tweet->tw_created_at, 3).'</a>'."\n";
   		}
   	}
   	else {
   		$output .= __('No tweets available at the moment.', 'twitter-tools'). "\n";
   	}
   	$output .= '		<a href="http://twitter.com/'.$aktt->twitter_username.'">More updates...</a>'."\n";

   to get the div, ul, li tags out of the plugin causing the problem,
   but that ended up breaking the plugin, so I don't know what else to try?

   and unfortunately I haven't found another twitter plugin that replaces this yet that will work instead, except for twitt-twoo, which isn't PHP 4 compatible.
