 * First let me preface this by saying that I am using version 1.4.0, which was 
   downloaded from github, because it has the list feature, which works awesomely–
   so thanks for that.
 * However, I ran into an issue when I wanted to show just one testimonial on the
   home page. I customized the testimonials-loop-template and when I use the short
   code `[ic_do_testimonials display='list' quantity='-1']` my custom template works
   perfectly. However, if I use this short code: `[ic_do_testimonials ajax_on='no']`
   to just show 1 testimonial, my custom template is ignored and the default template
   in the ivycat-ajax-testimonials.php file is used.
 * Thankfully with an additional div and some css I was able to get the single testimonial
   to display consistently with the list of testimonials on the testimonials page.
   Was just hoping that I wouldn’t have to add the extra coding to keep the layout
   and css consistent between the single and list display.
 * This post is more of an FYI than a major problem, but just wanted to give some
   feedback.
