[Plugin: Wickett Twitter Widget] Tweets split into several lines

Hi, I just installed this plugin and set it to show the 5 most recent tweets. However, instead it’s just showing one tweet and splitting it into 5 lines. The line breaks come before links, and because of the way my theme is set up, the links have bullets appearing in front of them.

I’ve tried looking at the code for the plugin but can’t find the problem. Can someone please help? My site is http://sapac.org/blog. Here’s the code:
