 * The plugin had a problem and could not install. It was a line in the Name of 
   the plugin that was not with “comments” I added /* to the second line and it 
   worked!

       Plugin Name: WP Featured Post with thumbnail
       ```
   
 * Add this `/*` and enjoy! ))

 * I just downloaded v3.2 (2011-03-05) and received the same syntax error.
 * Fixed by adding the /* as indicated above.
 * Hope this will be fixed in future releases.
