# Multiple widgets, multiple options

 * Hi,
 * This is an excellent widget. But I have a small problem. I am using three instances
   of the widget on a sidebar of main main page. The main page has three sections
   where the 5 latest posts from three different categories are displayed.
 * The sidebar widgets should bring up RANDOM POSTS from the SAME category as the
   main page section. Unfortunately there is only a general option as to which category
   to include or not. Thus all the three instances of the widget are bringing up
   random posts of any and all categories, not the one’s I would like.
 * Can you provide an option to include the Categories for EACH instance of the 
   WIDGET instead of the general option? Can I tweak the code to somehow do this?
 * Thanks in advance.
    Marzban
