 * Hi Martin
 * You’ve made a great tool and I’m very appreciative! I have a few questions, I’ll
   stick them all in here in the interest of being efficient:
 * 1) With regards to displaying the bird icon to the left, I uploaded the css file
   via FTP to the uploads section of my directory, however, no change on the website.
 * You can see a screen shot of the css file in context in its directory at
    [http://www.labourpride.com/indevelopment/](http://www.labourpride.com/indevelopment/)
 * 2) I also want to use a background image of some sort, as I don’t want it to 
   blend into the background of the page. I added the background-color code into
   the same CSS file as above, but no luck.
 * }
    div.rotatingtweets_format_0 p.rtw_meta { padding-left: 38px; background-color:
   rgba(224,224,224,0.85); }
 * Do I need to ‘activate’ the CSS file in the theme somehow? I’m very new to HTML&
   CSS, but am not uncomfortable with going under the hood to make changes. I tried
   it also with the Naked Theme, but didn’t see the changes.
 * Thanks,
    Morgen

 * Your CSS is activated and the file is in place. I’d ‘aim’ at the surrounding .
   div for a background colour.
 * I’d also use `div.rotatingtweets` instead of `div.rotatingtweets_format_0`. That
   way you don’t need to match the CSS to the format you’ve chosen (which is currently`
   div.rotatingtweets_format_2`.
 * I’m also not sure that putting a bird and using format 2 – which includes people’s
   icons – is going to work.
 * I just tried:
 *     ```
       div.rotatingtweets {
                 background-color: rgba(224,224,224,0.85);
       }
       ```
   
 * and it seemed to be OK.
