faq:
Can I use this in more than one widget area?
Yes, this plugin has been made for multi-widget compatibility. Each instance of the widget will display, if wanted, differently than every other instance of the widget.
How can I style the plugin output?
The plugin uses a variation of the WordPress RSS Output that assigns several rss related classes, such as: rssSummary, rss-date, and rsswidget. A wrapping class of bns-smf-feeds has also been added to the widget for more fine tuning.
How can I get the RSS feed url?
Once the widget is activated and placed into a widget ready area, there will be a standard RSS icon displayed beside the feed title. This icon will have the url anchored to it, simply click on it to subscribe to the feed directly.

faq:
Can I use this in more than one widget area?
Yes, this plugin has been made for multi-widget compatibility. Each instance of the widget will display, if wanted, differently than every other instance of the widget.
How can I style the plugin output?
The plugin uses several "common" WordPress functions that create standard class and id elements that can be styled in the style.css file
* the classes generated by the postclass() function; and, the id generated by "post-" apended to theID() function wrap the general post output
* the plugin class post-details wraps the general meta details of the post, such as the Author, Categories, Tags, etc.
* the overall plugin may also be wrapped in a widget "container" class, or id, specific to the theme itself such as (but not limited to): widget, sidebar, left, right, etc.
With the addition of the display Tag Description option an additional class was written into the plugin. To style the tag description displayed add the class bnsfc-tag-desc to your style.css file then use your choice of properties to style the text, for example:
.bnsfc-tag-desc {font-style: italic;}
Can I increase the maximum posts to display?
As of version 1.6.2 the Total Posts to Display is independent of the "posts per page" setting as set under Settings | Reading.
