 * So far great plugin! Thanks for your work. This is more of a suggestion, rather
   than a bug. When going to Appearance -> Widgets, it’s tending to take quite a
   while to load a site in my company. It turns out the dropdown of the tags and
   authors is what’s doing it. We have about 6,000+ tags, and quite a bit of authors
   as well. Since there’s so many tags/authors, PHP actually stops running and and
   the entire HTML isn’t finished, making the widgets un-editable.
 * Might I suggest making the author/category/tag dropdowns a text field instead
   that can be comma delimited by the ID?
 * Thanks,
    Danny
