 * Hi [@kaser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaser/),
 * Thank you very much for writing this great plugin.
 * I needed a plugin that will show title, image and text preview from newest post
   in featured category.
 * Your plugin did all that except showing the text preview. So I added some coding
   of my own, which was really easy since you wrote the plugin very neatly with 
   lots of comments. Thanks for that 🙂
 * Anyway, I wanted to suggest you to add text preview in some next version. I did
   that with just a few extra lines:
 *     ```
       <?php
       								if ($show_featured_text)
       								{
       									the_excerpt();
       								}
       						?>
       ```
   
 * and off course, adding the checkbox in widget.
