A lovely little addition to any site
I have used this plugin for years and have always loved it - it's great if you have posts buried from long ago that deserve some limelight, and if you enjoy seeing what you were writing about in years past. It works perfectly for its intended purpose and offers a decent amount of flexibility, and the developer is very responsive to issues and feedback.

НЕ подходит
Он только делает список все постов за этот день. На нашем сайте их сотни. Нам столько не надо. Нам надо выбрать из них. Этого нет.
