Title: Adding width and height to .me-plugin

Even with position: absolute, IE8 was leaving a gap for the plug-in in
my layout. I attempted to solve this by giving the element display:
none, but that resulted in IE8 throwing "object does not support
property or method" errors. Applying 0 values for width and height
solved my layout issue without breaking IE8.
