 * Should I modify this plugin to add the option of making the widget title link
   to the category specified’s archive? If yes, I will lose my changes if I upgrade
   it in future.
 * This plugin is great and makes my life alot easier but hasn’t been updated in
   quite a while.
 * What to do?

 * Hi Carvill
 * Not really the ideal solution, but you can use a shortcode in the Byline field
   to generate the category name linking to the archive. You can then use CSS to
   position the link or indent the text and use a nice picture as background-image.
 * I think this shortcode should work:
    `[entry-terms taxonomy="category"]`
 * Also see [Justin Tadlock’s forum](http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/widget-title-link-to-category)
   and support him.
