I’m using @eviltrout ’s script to display comments on my blog. Everything works fine, but I’d like to tweak the styling a little. As I wasn’t able to find a setting in the admin for the embed css, I was wondering how to best approach this? Any tips?

Is it anywhere on the roadmap? Just being able to add a URL for my own CSS would already be great.

Good question. I wonder if this is something we should squeeze into 1.3 @codinghorror ?
