 * Hi. Is there any way to offset the tweets that are displayed; so starting with
   the fourth most recent tweet, for example, instead of the most recent?

 * Yes! Here are the steps:
 * 1) Add 3 to the number of tweets you actually want to display (for example, a
   5 tweet feed would need the number set to 8)
 * 2) Go to the “Customize” tab for Custom Twitter Feed’s settings pages and add
   this to the “Custom JavaScript” area:
 * jQuery(‘.ctf-item’).each(function(index) {
    if (index < 3) { jQuery(this).hide();}});
 * Let me know if you have more questions!

 * I’m trying to use different offsets for different custom tweet feeds so the custom
   js won’t work as its applied to all feeds.
 * It would be much easier if offset was something you could add to the shortcode.
   This seems to be a feature for custom facebook feeds but not custom twitter feeds,
   which I don’t understand.

 * Hey preacherboy86,
 * It’s possible this will end up as a setting at some point but what you can do
   in the meantime is use the “class” shortcode setting to target individual feeds.
   For example:
 * [custom-twitter-feeds class=offset1]
 *     ```
       jQuery('.offset1 .ctf-item').each(function(index) {
           if (index < 1) {
               jQuery(this).hide();
           }
       });
       ```
   
 * [custom-twitter-feeds class=offset2]
 *     ```
       jQuery('.offset2 .ctf-item').each(function(index) {
           if (index < 2) {
               jQuery(this).hide();
           }
       });
       ```
   
 * [custom-twitter-feeds class=offset3]
 *     ```
       jQuery('.offset3 .ctf-item').each(function(index) {
           if (index < 3) {
               jQuery(this).hide();
           }
       });
       ```
