ul.ttw-inner li{float:left;list-style-type:none;position:relative;margin:0;} ul.ttw inner-li (float: left; list-style-type: none; position: relative; margin: 0;)
ul.ttw-inner span.ttw-author-img{display:block;width:48px;height:48px;overflow:hidden;left:0;position:absolute;margin:0 5px 0 0;} ul.ttw span.ttw-inner-author-img (display: block; width: 48px; height: 48px; overflow: hidden; left: 0; position: absolute; margin: 0 5px 0 0;)
ul.ttw-inner strong a{margin-right:5px;} ul.ttw the strong-inner (margin-right: 5px;)
ul.ttw-inner span.ttw-body{display:block;margin-left:55px;} ul.ttw span.ttw-inner-body (display: block; margin-left: 55px;)
ul.ttw-inner span.ttw-meta{color:#999;display:block;font-size:0.764em;margin:3px 0 0;} ul.ttw span.ttw-meta-inner (color: # 999; display: block; font-size: 0.764em; margin: 3px 0 0;)
ul.ttw-inner span.ttw-meta a{color:#999;text-decoration:none;} ul.ttw span.ttw-inner-meta a (color: # 999; text-decoration: none;)
ul.ttw-inner span.ttw-meta a:hover{text-decoration:underline;} ul.ttw span.ttw-inner-meta a: hover (text-decoration: underline;)

In the codehighlighted in bold are the configuration options of the plugin, you can change according to the instructions on the developer page

HTML
For the RTs of Twitter are displayed just below the comments from readers, look for the line <p class='comment-footer'&gt; and soon after it includes a new line, as indicated below:

<p class='comment-footer'>
<div class='twitter-trackbacks'/>
Soon after setting up the plugin trackbacks twitter must already appear clearly only in posts where they exist, including the old ones.Credits :
