Except the sticky post which is extremely usefull, I liked much more the chance 
to define your own style (it gives you id and class). Tania

This plugin has wonderful options, especially the option to ONLY show sticky posts,
BUT I detest how HUGE the post titles and images are in the widget!!! Would you 
please consider adding options to adjust these as I do not want attention taken 
away from the main pages/posts My site visitors are reading. Thank you! Other than
My request, this plugin rocks!
