+1 on wanting to donate. How do we donate a contribution back to you?

Thanks for the plugin James. Does exactly what I need for a WP 3.1.4 installation.

Do let me know if you find yourself in Melbourne, Australia one day and I can thank you in person over a tea||coffee||b33r.

Hi James, excellent plugin! Thanks for your hard work.

I have a multi-lingual site (using the qtranslate plugin) the posts are translated but the widget title malfunctions.

I’ve manually updated the code since last update and wonder if u could consider including the fix in your future udpdates?

From:

if( $instance["title_link"] )
echo ‘‘ . $instance["title"] . ‘‘;
else
echo $instance["title"];

To:

if( $instance["title_link"] )
echo ‘‘ . __($instance["title"]) . ‘‘;
else
echo __($instance["title"]);

Many thanks

/Lars

Hi, great little plugin!
Question – how can you incorporate CSS into the widget? I would like to add some font attributes. I don’t really know php well, to know where to add it in the Editor.
Thank you-

Hi James,
good plugin indeed, thanks to share.
Someone knows how to change excerpt limit from “word” to “character”?
For a plugin that fits in a box it’s important to know exactly how many characters can fill and “Parallelepiped” take more space than “Hi” but both count for 1 word.
Any helps is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hey there just added your plugin to my site. The random function is not working and I can see in the comments its been like that for some time.

Any chance of a fix soon or should I just look for another plugin

Hi James,

Thanks a million for making your plug-in available. Would you mind advising me how to get the first tag to display ‘class=”first”‘?

I have attempted to adapt the instructions posted here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-element-in-a-list-classcat-item-first?replies=9, but have not had much luck.

Huge thanks,

Spen

Great Plugin! I’m using it on a few of my client sites. Has anyone figured out the alphabetical ordering yet? I’m trying to run a list of available painting – http://susankuznitsky.com/available-artwork-paintings.
