    I love your plugin! I am using it with the search feature, and it works like a charm!
    However, when searching, there are always prominent content spammers that flood twitter with commercial advertisement. Would it be possible to exclude certain accounts from the results? I’d love to be able to submit a list of account names that I do not want to show in my feeds. Would that be possible? That’d be awesome!

    There’s a good guide to using search at https://support.twitter.com/articles/71577-using-advanced-search

    So, for example, to do what you want you can go with a search for:

    fish -from:person1 -from:person2

    thanks, works like a charm!
    BTW is there a way to change the style of the navigation texts i.e. make them smaller and/or use a different font?
    Great plugin!

    Sure. Everything has its own style that you can change as you wish.

    It depends slightly which format of tweet you are using, but normally something like:

    .rtw_meta {
        font-size: small;
        font-family: fantasy;
    }

    in the template stylesheet or a rotatingtweets.css stylesheet in the uploads directory should work.

    I don’t know how much you know about CSS, but you can also be more specific – for example:

    .rtw_meta {
        font-size: 70%;
        font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    }

    There’s some useful guidance at http://www.cssbasics.com/chapter_10_css_font.html and http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font.asp

    Hi Martin,

    We are using your plugin succesful 🙂
    Only we have a “spammer” in our search result. Can on a searchword, a certain user be blocked?

    I was testing on http://www.twitter.com with #searchword -from:Username. This working there but when I use this in your plugin, the tweets from Username will still show up.

    Or is there an other way to block/hide tweets from a specific twitter-user?

    Sometimes the API doesn’t behave the same way as the Twitter search page which is very frustrating!

    In order to avoid having to reprogramme things, does it work if you try

    #searchword -Username

    ?
