Was much needed
Useful for blogs with a lot of posts!

Worked right away
Worked right away. Should be very informative for heavy bloggers. I don´t see a reason nor and argument for the 1 star reviews. Rate it 5 stars.

Disappointing
Plugin works until you try to modify the settings. Author refuses to do his due diligence to fix the problems.
