    Although the plugin works (it does what it was intended to do which is direct the user to the latest post), it should NOT direct the user to an UNPUBLISHED post URL (i.e drafts mode) or privately published post URL.

    Currently, version 1.1.3 behaves this way:
    1. If the user (i.e. admin) is logged in to WordPress, clicking “link” will direct user to last post (regardless of whether it’s private or unpublished.

    2. If the user is not logged in, clicking link will direct user to last post… and user will see correct 404 error page if the last post is still on drafts/unpublished state or privately published state.

    Since a blogger usually has several posts in drafts or privately published state at any given time… a lot of visitors clicking last post link will see ERROR 404 page.

    Plugin should direct user to last PUBLIC post.

    Yes, thats really right.
    So I am now writing the 1.2 version of this plugin.
    In 1.2, you can change the latest post type you want to direct(Like publish, draft, future).
