A plugin for WordPress that gives you two widgets to show your Yahoo! Answers Questions and Starred / Favorites. These widgets have a few more options than a typical RSS feed simply loaded by an RSS widget. The statuses are reduced so they aren’t redundant (e.g. “Resolved Question:” is rewritten “Resolved:”) amung other options to toggle such as:
- Show status.
- Show category.
- Show answer count.
- Show comment count.
These are hidden by default when you create a new instance of the widget.
The widgets are built and tested on 2.9.2 with the WP_Widget class introduced for 2.8 and above.
