That's a nice feature -- looks good!

One bit of comment on the theme more generally -- I really like to see
date and author up near the top of a page. Those bits of information
are extremely important when you see a post and decide whether or 
not to read on. Old posts are worth much less than current posts,
and a trusted/recognizable name goes a long way to establishing
interest -- I get annoyed when I have to scroll around for this info.

I mention it here because when I saw the subject line, this is one 
of the updates I was wishing to see. :)
