Once I install and activate the plugin, How do I use it?
This is only a widget, so you will need to drag and drop the widget into a sidebar or other widgetized area of your blog before you can configure it to work.
I dragged the widget over, but I can’t set custom post types or image size, what do I do?
This has now been fixed in version 1.8 of the plugin so please upgrade to the latest version to get latest post featuring technology!
How did you make such an awesome plugin?
Lots of reading. Lots of thinking. Lots of #wordpress. Lots of music. 🙂
