 * I have been pulling my hair out looking for a plugin like this, so thank you 
   for finally almost solving my problem. The only request I have is how to get 
   it to show a post excerpt.

 * Hi, sorry for the long delay. I guess I don’t automatically get subscribed to
   the support forum for my own plugins. In any event, to add the excerpt you’d 
   need to add something on line 81 like
    `<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?
   >" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" class="featured-contrib-story"><?php
   the_title(); ?></a><?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>`
