 * I think this is a superb plug-in.
 * However, I noticed a couple minor inconsistencies that you may wish to look into:
 * 1. The widget places the Author on its own line, where as the shortcode does 
   not.
 * 2. The widget displays the Author exactly as entered, whereas the shortcode inserts
   a “- ” (hyphen + space) in front of the Author.
 * I greatly prefer the way the widget handles the display of the data.
 * The only difference in handling of the Author field that I would ask is to keep
   it offset to the right in the widget, but left justifying it in the shortcode
   implementation (or allowing the user to specify a left margin).
 * Using PQ Version 0.3.4.3
    on a WP 3.7.1 site with the Twenty Twelve theme, v 
   1.3
