Nearly indespensible!

I’m not very sophisticated with WordPress, so I barely use this via shortcodes, but mostly as a widget, which is very easy. As a widget it’s customizable (as is the html via CSS), but using shortcodes, it’s super-customizable. The documentation is thorough, and development active.

In a recent update, the author broke List Category Post’s output as I used it. He was very attentive and fixed it quickly.
