## Description

With this plugin you can display the content of a post (of any type) in a widget
area. You can also limit number of words, change the delimiter and add a read more
link to it.

This means, in a widgetized theme, you can move the content around and arrange it
however you like, and even reuse it in multiple places. Also comes in handy if you
want your client to be in charge of the content, without having access to the Widgets
manager.

Since 0.3 you can also query for a random post, or the latest post and limit it 
by category and offset.
