 * Hi – what is the difference is between the fields “Posts Count” and “Maximum 
   posts per blog” ..??..
 * my test seemed to suggest which ever one is less is the one that takes precedence
   in how many posts get displayed in the widget ..??..
 * e.g., if i set “Posts count=11” yet further down in admin screen select “maximum
   posts per blog = 2” then only two posts are shown …
 * yet if i reverse numbers and say post-count=2 and max-posts=4 then only two posts
   are shown …
 * thus what is difference / reason for using one field versus the other ..??.. 
   to be continued … cordially, chuck scott

 * okay – i think i figured out the answer so gonna answer my own thread here …
 * answer = post counts shows the most recent (newest posts) so if i set it to 3
   and Maximum posts to zero, then i get the most recent three … but if i set the
   reverse, maximum posts to 3 and post counts blank – then i only get the oldest
   first three posts in that blog (or series of blogs) pulling in …
 * as an aside, it would be super cool to be able to include blog categories on 
   the blogs we put on the white list …
 * cheers – cs
