Hope blogger too comes up with some plugins like these. All those coding tips are fine but at the end of the day if some thing goes wrong you are doomed. That's why i like wordpress but unfortunately my older blog is on blogger. Great tip, would help immensely in the future. Hope blogger too comes up with some plugins like these.

As you can see on the screen shot on your own site, the options created by your plugin create a very wide box that goes outside the bounds of the usual widget editing pane. The only solution I would have for you is to say "use less information" but that is outright stupid. You could try to squeeze it into a more vertical format but that would make it harder to use. Honestly, I don' think either solution is worthwhile. The way you have it now is fine and I think the onus should be on the WP guys to make that box expand more neatly. If they did that, it would work well. So don't lose any sleep over that, you've created too good of a plugin! Kaspars: I don’t think that the problem is yours actually.

Regarding your comment about the design -- do you have any suggestions on how to make it feel more native to WP? Also, which browser are you using? Maybe you could email me a screenshot of the widget page which illustrates the rendering issues you had. Jonathan, thank you for such a great review of my plugin.
