 * Is it possible to have multiple instances of this widget at one time? I’d like
   to have an archive for Blog X and a separate archive for Blog Y, both on one 
   site. Thanks for the great widget.

 * Thanks, if you like it give it 5 starts, you can have multiple instances by using
   a short-code, read the FAQ for more information

 * I don’t understand about multiples blogs, are you using a WordPress MU installation?

 * Instead of “blog” i should have said “category.” i’d like to have one archive
   for Category A and another archive for Category B. I am using WordPress MU, but
   i don’t think that’s related. I’ll look at the shortcode. Thanks.

 * No, currently it doesn’t support (good idea for next version)
 * But you can cheat by copying the plugin into a new folder, then at the source
   code changing the plugin name to something else, so you have a clone with different
   name and different configuration.

 * It looks like the shortcode doesn’t allow configuring category inclusion/exclusion
   yet, so I may try the cloned-plugin approach. Thanks for your help, and for the
   plugin. 🙂

 * I’m not sure this is the solution.
    I have tried to change the plugin name in
   the source code, but after this i have a fatal error for each function name. 
   I have renamed all function name and after this nothing errors. But, when i active
   the plugin in plugin area, the widget don’t appear in the widget area.

 * That’s the correct way, but you’ll to update the hooks as well.
 * Update the hooks to your new’s functions name.

 * You can update to latest version because it supports multiples version by default.
