Hello! I just released version 1.11, which has the following options:
* items=x show last x items (default = all items)
* days=x show last x days (default = all days)
* words=x show first x words (extracts) (default = all post content)
* showall=yes show all posts (drafts, published) (default = only published)
* showsiteinfo=no do not show subsite info (only post) (default = yes)
* disableheading=yes do not show selection heading (default = no)
* showempty=no do not show subsites with no results (default = yes). Note: will also suppress subsite info for a subsite without results.
Hope these work well for you. (Sorry for the delay; traveling and a cold slowed me down.)
Known issue (unresolved) is using the shortcode in the middle of page/post text; that will cause the list to be first, then all the content after the list. Working on that problem; it’s a bit trickier.
Let me know how these new parameters work for you.
