## Description

This widget allows blog admins to add a listing of the latest posts from a featured
blog from within the WPMU site. If you choose an author and have avatars turned 
on, the author’s avatar will also be displayed.

## Installation

 1. Upload the cets_featured_blog.php file to your `/wp-content/plugins directory` 
    or `wp-content/mu-plugins directory`
 2. In your WordPress dashboard, head over to the _Plugins_ section.
 3. Activate _Featured Blog Widget_.
 4. Add _Featured Blog Widget_ widget to your sidebar & configure.

## FAQ

 1. The avatar isn’t showing up. Why not?

Avatars must be set to show on the blog you are featuring.

 1. I’m featuring one author, but seeing posts from other authors. Why?

Make sure to also tick the checkbox “Limit Posts to Author.” The default behavior
is to pull all posts, even if an author is identified. Also, note that if you use
an author’s name that is not an author, it defaults to pulling all posts.
