    I've had this on my blog for about a week and love it. Today I went to change it from "All Time" to "Past 30 Days." I like having the thumbnail but not the snippet and now I can't get rid of either. I uncheck both boxes, click Save and both the thumbnail (which I don't mind) and snippet show up on my blog. ?????????? This just happened today. How can I fix this??? No matter how many times I uncheck the snippet box and hit save, the snippet shows.

    I can't find the "Popular Posts" widget you speak of. Is it because I'm using a third-party template?
