## FAQ

  How can I style my tips ?

Use CSS !
 There also are specific classes for your tips : -a poll tip gets the 
class “totd-question”, -each tag given to a tip is used as class like “totd-tag-
XXX” where XXX is the tag slug.

  How can I change how the tip query is made ?

You can filter the query arguments with the filter “totd_the_tips_query_args” to
modify the query arguments (show more than one tip, exclude some tips, …)

  How can I display custom content (eg. PHP code) in the tip ?

You can filter the content of the excerpt of a WordPress post using the filters “
the_content” and “the_excerpt”.
 Here’s an example which uses the plugin BuddyPress
Profile Progression to display a tip about how much the logged in user’s profile
is filled : http://pastie.org/1289904
