 * Nice plugin! I was wondering if it’s possible to query current day’s post automatically
   with this plugin? I can see that you can select a date but then you would have
   to change it every day..

 * How about using scheduled publishing option in WP posts?
    [http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/)
 * Possible scenario should be something like this:
 * 1. Make multiple posts (eg. Monday, Tuesday … Sunday) all placed into one category(
   eg. Week). Every single post will be scheduled to automatic publishing at 00:
   01 at corresponding date.
    2. Place the widget into desired sidebar and call 
   category=Week post_per_page=1 post_status=published, scheduled (press and hold
   CTRL for multi select) post_type=post entry_container=div (probably, it’s up 
   to You) 3. click Save and check front page
 * Please note that scheduled time is formatted as 00:00-23:59, so never use am/
   pm formatting. You should also check Your WP time settings if it is correct.
   
   Also note that if Your post content is intended to be seen on different time 
   zone areas, this will be very bad approach.
 * Hope this will be helpful.

 * **One important update!**
 * According to another post in this forum:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-categories-dont-work?replies=4](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-categories-dont-work?replies=4)
 * You should use category id number instead of category name.
    So, everything from
   my example still stands except category=Week …
