 * Hi Hector,
 * A cool improvement for WPP would be an option to exclude the current post from
   the widget
 * That would avoid people to click on a link to a post where they already are

 * Hi ant123,
 * Yes but that could be a bit confusing, too. People would be like “hey, where’s
   the entry? I saw it listed there before, could it be a bug?”. Instead, maybe 
   it’d better if the current post is highlighted on the list so people know that’s
   what they’re reading right now.
 * What do you think?

 * I think, as long as it’s just an option, it’s up to the webmaster/blogger to 
   decide.
 * I came to this idea, after having discovered in Google Analytics “In-Page Analytics”(
   a tool that lets you see where people click) that the most clicked link was the
   one to the same post in WPP.
    In a way, that’s not very surprising, when you 
   consdider that the title of the current post is the most relevant/related topic
   compared to what people are reading on the page.
 * Another solution would be to simply remove the a href tag for the current post
 * Keep me posted

 * I like the second idea. I’ll give it some thought and come back to you later.

 * I think highlighting + removing the a href would be the most understandable option
 * Thanks for the effort anyway

 * First, the best plugin in this category so far 🙂
 * I would very much like to be able to offset the latest posts from the list.
    
   In other words; be able to exclude the x latest posts or posts from the x last
   days/hours. This way my 5 latest posts wouldnt end up on top all the time 🙂
