I seem to be on a bit of a role in regards to wordpress widgets. I notice with the ever increasing amount of entries on the blog, the more inaccessible some of the content was becoming. This sucks a bit and a I want people to be able to see some of the best posts on my blog. I also want them to get some eye candy in the process such as a thumbnail.
Here’s the widget in action or see the sidebar of this blog -

Man, This would’ve been just what I needed. Too bad it doesn’t show anything in my sidebar. Only the title. Put the widget in, selected a category and there it was… only the title.
This is what my GD says:
GD Unterstützung
* GD Version : bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
* FreeType Support : Yes
* FreeType Linkage : with freetype
* T1Lib Support : NO
* GIF Read Support : Yes
* GIF Create Support : Yes
* JPG Support : Ja
* PNG Support : Yes
* WBMP Support : Yes
* XPM Support : Yes
* XBM Support : Ja
* JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support : No
Any idea what I can do to make it work`?
Thank you!
Anja
