 * Although there is the option of changing the css, for the Twitter add-on (from
   CodeCanyon) the ability to specify the padding between fields is needed .. eg
   my tweet..
 * `@jenolan1701Nice little JS widget`
 * See the no padding?
 * Thanks,

 * Are you referring to using list mode? If so, there is a “Tick spacing” setting
   that sets the spacing between ticks, or in your case, tweets.
 * Is this what you are asking? If not, I’m not sure if I’m understanding what you’re
   asking.

 * Ok, I can see what you’re saying. I still think the best way to deal with that
   is to leave it up to custom css. You can add something like this:
 *     ```
       .mtphr-dnt-twitter span {
         margin: 0 4px;
       }
       ```
   
 * The reason I don’t wan’t to add default styling is that it’s impossible to know
   how people are going to use this. For example, if someone has a date set up as
   a block level element below a setup like you have, then the Twitter name would
   be indented 5 pixels from the left of the date (If the text was left aligned)…
   so that person would need custom css to override the default settings. So, padding
   may be optimal by default for your site, but it may not for someone else. I prefer
   to keep the styles as minimal as possible to user’s don’t have to override a 
   bunch of presets to get a look they want.
 * I appreciate the comment and feedback. Thanks for your purchase!

 * Understand but the problem is that if I set up two different twitter feeds and
   I want them to appear differenly the ‘global’ css is not going to allow me to
   change it for one of the instances .. does that make sense?

 * You can target individual tickers. For your current ticker, you would use:
 *     ```
       #mtphr-dnt-3137 span {
         margin: 0 4px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Every news ticker would use it’s post ID where the **3137** is above. If for 
   some reason you use the exact same ticker (same ID) more than once on a single
   page and want to style them differently you can add a unique ID to each shortcode
   or function [http://dittynewsticker.com/ditty-twitter-ticker-doc/#Unique_IDs](http://dittynewsticker.com/ditty-twitter-ticker-doc/#Unique_IDs)
 * So, if you added the exact same ticker as you currently have another time on 
   the same page and added a Unique ID of “copy”, you would reference it as:
 *     ```
       #mtphr-dnt-3137-copy span {
         margin: 0 4px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hopefully that helps you out.
