 * Hi there,
    Very nice plugin, thank you. I’m new to using WordPress. In my widget
   display, my post are being truncated but there is no link to the full post, only
   a link to the full testimonials page. I’m I missing something or is that not 
   possible? Thanks again, Wayne

 * Hi Wayne,
 * Sorry for such a late reply. This is not possible at the moment and the plugin
   has not been designed to work like this. You could possibly change the main plugin
   file to get this working, but this has not been tested.

 * Yes, I was wondering something similar. I switched to just using the code in 
   the post, b/c using the widget (in the body or sidebar) only gives a truncated
   testimonial…after about 2 1/2 lines of text. It looks great, b/c you wouldn’t
   want the FULL long testimonial every time. UNFORTUNATELY, after the reader becomes
   interested, that switches to frustration when they cannot finish the story…at
   least not without looking through all the testimonials to find the one they were
   reading.
    I too think I must be missing something. Perhaps we could add a link,
   after a determined number of words in a testimonial, that took them to a page
   that was set to display ONLY that testimonial. But then, there would always be
   that link within the full story…and that wouldn’t look good. Any ideas?
