Hi Rob
can you explain how to configure the code systax in order to;
Create 4 widgets, each widget will have 1 of the these category (1,2,3,4) assigned to it.

The post title will bea link to the full post. the content will be 50 word snippet and will have the suffix “continue reading” which will be a link to the full article.

I have been struggling to put this together

I figured out to add an image.

Go to Settings>Random Posts Options>Output

In the Output Template field, I put {custom:minithumb}

Then on each post, I do a custom field called Minithumb and put the url of my image. Mine is sized 65px x 65px. You can see the result on my web site at the top of the right hand sidebar.

I am only putting the image there, which links to the post. You could add the title but I don’t know what to tell you on how to format it to output properly. Good luck!

PS and what about 2.6.5? Does it work there?

Urgent:
Can anyone tell me if this plugin is compatible with WP 2.7.1?
I run WP 2.6.2 and have just been hacked so I need to upgrade – and eventually look for a replacement plugin.
Would be too bad since both this and Recent posts work great

The plugin is said to work up to 2.6.2 – and it seems like people have different experiences…
Thanks,
Kjetil

sorry, i have solved it on my own: At the function otf_author($option_key, $result, $ext) I added the case "gravatar" like ...

case 'gravatar':	

       $author = get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '20', '' );

		break;

Is there a chance to get a tag like {authors_gravatar} ?
