## Description

The idea behind this plugin is to allow users to setup information in their admin
panel, that will be pulled through into the
 front end. It’s setup to make it easy
to add areas for Featured Posts, or other types of special data they want to be 
displayed. (Top 5 posts, or top 10 posts, or whatever). Very basic functionality
for now. I plan to expand it greatly based off user feature requests, and new ideas
that I get.

Note: This is the beta release. There will be bug fixes, response to feedback, and
additional development coming in the near months.

Note: I have added a new widget. PLEASE NOTE this is currently only a function. 
I have not registered it as a usable sidebar widget. This
 is coming in a near future
version.

## Installation

The usage is very simple. Install the plugin, under the admin panel look for the
menu option “Blog Post Area Plugin”. Fill
 that up with whatever data you want (
instructions are on the form). Then pull it through on the front end using either
the standard data function, or the basic widget. The widget will have new formats
added in the future.

To get the rall data call “$blogposts = blogpostarea_getdata();”. To call the widget
use “widget_blogpostarea()” function.
