 * Awesome plugin. Unfortunately I found the widget doesn’t appear to save the
    - Date
    - Author
    - Link to category
    - Excerpt
 * checkbox settings. However after a bit of fiddling around I found that it *does*
   save the settings, it just doesn’t *show* the checked status.
 * The fix is right at the end of lcp_widget_form.php: change the last four instances
   of
 * `<?php checked($instance['show_blah'], true ); ?>`
 * to
 * `<?php checked( (bool) $instance['show_blah'], true ); ?>`
