 * Not currently. You can trim links, but not tweets.

 * OK, thanks for the prompt reply. Maybe this will be a good feature to add in 
   future versions.
 * Best!

 * Sure. What exactly are you trying to achieve and/or what problem are you trying
   to solve? There may be another way to do it…

 * Indeed. I’ve just trimmed links to 10 characters to save horizontal space since
   the rotating tweets are running in a boxed header (1000px) with the Follow button
   floating to the right.

 * I want the tweet only in one line of text.
 * BTW, excellent plugin.

 * Might something like:
 *     ```
       p.rtw_main {
           max-height: 1.1em;
           overflow: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * work…?
