 * When using the shortcode [hl-twitter user=williamisted] it seems to load tweets
   from another user from my hl-twitter users, no matter what i change the username
   to it loads the same account.

 * On the FAQ it shows that you must enter the ID of the Twitter user, not their
   name. This is because some users have names such as 1234.
 * So in your instance, the shortcode would be: [hl-twitter user= 6702362]
 * Hope that helps.
