 * I would like to be able to customize the trigger text for this plug. i.e. solid
   background box with customizable settings (size of BG box, color, etc). Should
   I use css coding for this, or I also considered designing the trigger text as
   an image in photoshop since I can then create the look I exactly want for my 
   trigger text.
 * Also, I use elementor to build my site. I’ve inserted my shortcode into a text
   editor widget within a section. Is this the recommended method for inserting 
   Collapse-O-Matic short code in my site ?

 * To customize the look of the trigger text, it’s best to use CSS.
    You can either
   define the global .collapseomatic class, or define different classes and assign
   them using the [trigclass attribute](https://plugins.twinpictures.de/plugins/collapse-o-matic/documentation/#trigclass).
 * You could also use an [image as a trigger](http://spacedonkey.de/1317/collapse-o-matic-image-and-text-trigger/),
   but this is not recommended, as it reduces the SEO effectiveness of your site.
 * The shortcode within a text editor widget should be fine. If you have a choice
   use the text widget in TEXT or HTML mode (not visual).
 * Hope this helps!
