 * Hi there !
 * Amazing plugin, I’m using it on [http://blizzheart.com](http://blizzheart.com)
   for EVERY list. You can take a look at my homepage, everything is made with W4PL,
   even featured posts at the top of the page, even post lists in submenus etc…
 * I’m looking for a feature. It would be great if we could filter author in shortcode.
   For example I make a list [postlist id=44365] and I want to filter by author 
   depending on where the list is displayed. So I could make something like [postlist
   id=44365 author=13] and the list will only show posts made by the user with ID
   13.
 * This way I could use your plugin to display post on profiles/author pages.
 * I hope I’m understandable ! Sorry for my bad english.
 * Have a nice day and keep up the good work !
