GS Blog v1.4

[yojoe]

1. What do you mean by news containers? You can only have one instance of the blog. Tell me if the below function is what you are looking for
Function to allow parameters to be passed to display specific categories or posts that match a criteria

• Multiple instances of function could be used on in a template file
  
• You can override default "list all posts" function in settings panel
  
• Pass variable whether to display excerpt, thumbnail, or just heading or just thumbnail (etc..)
  

2 & 3. I have not used the majority of Martin's plugins so I do not know how they behave and they were not a consideration when creating this plugin. Is there any specific manors you would like this plugin to integrate with his?

Ohh that should cover all questions I'd come up with.
I didn't ask for plugin instances, as you mentioned about categories.
It was rather a question if displaying news list by categories is possible (like i18n_search based on page tags).
I just have to lay my hands on this plug and see what I can break

When it goes to i18n plugin, it would be great if your plugin would support them.
Especially search , and galleries.

One more thing. Would it be possible to display excerpt of a news, based on a tag ?
Atm excerpt's length is a fixed value (chars, paragraph etc). But the length of excerpt may vary - sometimes 1 paragraph, sometimes 2. If there would be a way to pass a variable to create an excerpt per page, it would be great.
F.e {intro} below the excerpt in page content.
