1. embedding a tweet seems to not work on re-blogged posts. example - re-blog post in 'reader' view. add text. press re-blog. go back to edit post in 'posts' screen. open re-blog. add tweet url. press 'preview' or 'publish'. does not work in either 'visual' or 'html'

2. you have to add line break html to put spaces between desired paragraphs when re-blogging. is that supposed to be the case?

slightly related to the above: switching between 'html' and 'visual' usually always removes the 'html' shortcode and subsequent formatting when pressing preview or publish

thanks

.twp-container {
margin-left:Auto!important;
}

.twp-container {
    margin-right: auto !important;
    margin-left: auto !important;
}

I should have taken a screenshot of it at full width after my Firebug change.

Looking through the twt.css file, they have used "!important" on everything (seriously, each declaration has an !important on it) apparently to keep you from overriding any of the styling.

Firebug sometimes fails me and this was one of those times where it showed things changing, but things actually didn't change.

Let me play with this a little. Something is seriously strange here.

Do you increase the Twitter Embed width by increasing the % value? I've added your suggested code, played with 120% and nothing changed. Cleared cache too and it's the same.

.twp-container {
max-width: 100%;
}

A note of caution: Changing this setting will affect all auto-embeds, not only tweets.

I have tried all valid shortcode switches and none of them worked the way I wanted them. The width= switch I suspect only shortens from its hard-coded default of 'x' value. I tried width='620' which is the width of my images and theme and it didn't do anything. The default value is much shorter. All I want is for every tweet embeds to flush with the theme's max width.

The original Twitter Blackbird Pie Embed feature worked so beautifully in that tweets are automatically stretched to flush with width of theme. That's all gone with the new feature leaving posts with mix alignment issues such as thoe here http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2011/10/ sigh!

Please make default Twitter Embeds to fit the width of theme or at the very least automatically centre them in post.

Thank you.

How do I do this?

That didn't work either, so I went back to the old-school url, without the "#!", when I published the post. When I open the #newtwitter url of the tweet (while not logged in), it shows that it has been retweeted. Do you know how I could go and find the tweet's url before it was retweeted?

The retweet question is interesting: can you track it back to the very first iteration of the tweet? That could well be interfering.
