 * Is there a way to customize the output? For example, put the title on the bottom,
   then image and then excerpt? Are there any hooks that can adjust that sequence?

 * Unfortunately, right now the plugin is extremely simple and does not offer any
   mechanisms to customize its output. However, I agree with you that this is something
   that might be interesting, and we’ll be glad to include them in the future.
 * In the meantime, you can freely modify the file `includes/featured-post-template.
   php`. Simply modify the `article` HTML block and redistribute all elements as
   you please. Also, keep in mind to maintain a copy of your modified `post-template`
   file, for it will be overwritten in future updates.

 * Thanks I appreciate the reply. A simple solution might be to enable an override
   for the featured-post-template..php file. If the person creates a file nelio/
   featured-post-template.php in their current theme then that would override yours
   and it wouldn’t be overwritten in future updates?

 * Hi Rick! Yes, exactly! What you propose is what I was thinking about, and I completely
   agree that’s the proper solution. I’ll include this in the next release of our
   plugin. However, in the meantime you’ll have to edit the plugin’s file I mention
   to fix the issue.

 * I’ve updated the plugin so that you can now create your own custom templates.
   Just create a directory named `neioefi` in your theme’s directory and create 
   as many `your-custom-template.php` files as you will. Then, simply specify that
   the template the widget should use is `your-custom-template` (without the `.php`
   extension) and you’re ready to go!
 * Please, let me know if it works as expected. Also, don’t forget to rate the plugin
   and comment on it! Others will appreciate your opinion about our work 🙂

 * Hi guys, I’m trying to use this widget in multiple places, each using a different
   template. How _exactly _do I tell it to use a specific template? This is what
   I have now, which doesn’t work:
    echo do_shortcode( ‘[widget id=”neliofp_widget-
   2″ template=”featured-post-blog-index”]’ );
 * it doesn’t recognize the template part, it just behaves as though I have not 
   defined the custom template at all.
 * the template file itself is located in the neliofp directory on the server, and
   is called “featured-post-blog-index.php”
 * Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks, -vb
