Description
Creates a widget that displays posts and thumbnails in a selected category. Thumbnails will display 100px square. Author name links to author page (if in use) or list of posts. Posts are sorted in descending order by date. This is a fork of James Lao’s Category Posts plugin, with less options.
Style “thumbcol” and “contentcol” classes to make it look pretty (make the thumb appear to the left of the excerpt, for example).
