Instead of keeping it that way and hard coding the page-id, I wanted something where the end user could change which page was supposed to be linked. I hope it will be of use to someone.<\/p>\n\n<p>Right now you can:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Define the amount of characters to use as an excerpt<\/li>\n<li>Select the page from all existing pages<\/li>\n<li>Link the title of the page, to the page<\/li>\n<li>Append a link to the page<\/li>\n<li>Decide a custom label for the read more link<\/li>\n<li>add multiple instances of the widget<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>I plan to increase the functionality with:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>some internationalisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Suggestions welcome<\/h3>\n\n<p>Since this is my first plugin and widget, suggestions, improvements and more are very welcome.
