Happy as a pig in mud...
Wow, that was super easy and quick. Took me less than 10 minutes from downloading the plugin to a perfectly working widget in the sidebar on my site. Not a single issue encountered. Congratulations to the developer of this mighty plugin. Where can I support your great work?The only thing I miss is a button to quickly move [back] to the latest post. I never know which way to scroll.

Fantastic Support
The developer coded an additional feature for me and went above and beyond. Can not recommend the plugin and the support that comes with it enough.
