 * I just installed the plugin and the shortcode works quite well, but i’m using
   about 31+ twitter accounts so having the widget work is really important. It 
   wont rotate and it doesn’t sit properly withint the widget, while the shortcode
   does.

 * Can you send me a link? It’s impossible to solve this kind of problem without
   seeing the page.

 * No worries. The problem is because the Avantgarde template has its own copy of`
   jquery.cycle` hidden away in its `custom.js` script which is overwriting the 
   one used by `rotating_tweet.js`. I’ve sent you some possible solutions.

 * Just for the record (for people with a similar problem), this is now all sorted.
   Sorted the reference to `jquery.cycle` in `custom.js` by using a fade transition.
 * Added the following to `/wp-content/uploads/rotatingtweets.css`
 *     ```
       #sidebar div.rotatingtweet {
        padding-left: 25px;
        padding-right: 25px;
        padding-top: 20px;
        padding-bottom: 10px;
        height: 160px;
       }
       #sidebar div.rotatingtweets, #sidebar div.rtw_follow {
        padding-left: 25px;
        padding-right: 25px;
        padding-top: 13px;
        padding-bottom: 10px;
        max-width: 244px
   
       }
       #sidebar div.rtw_meta {
         clear:both
       }
       ```
