Install as you would any other widget. Tested on WPMU 2.6+. But should work fine with any recent WPMU version as well.
- Enter the user ID, login name, or email from the widget control panel to feature recent posts from a WPMU community user. Numeric ID is matched against existing user IDs.
- Featured User Posts
- Display 0-10 most recent posts
- the most recent post comes from any blog, remaining posts come from same blog, however
- full post, post excerpt, no post content
- titles
- author
- date
- comment link
- post category
- post tags
- avatars(any size 8-80 px)
- Filtered by Tags(comma separated list)
- Filtered by Categories
Usage notes: 1-9 multiple widgets by default, but you may want to modify the widget to allow only a couple as the server resources needed go up with each multiple.

I love this plugin! I’m rebuilding my main site and featuring posts from a couple of blogs I write. I’ve been playing around with this off and on for about a year and finally decided that I want three featured user widgets on my home page. Sadly, changing the number of Sitewide Feature User Widgets I would like doesn’t change the number I actually have (two). I really hate to bother you, but I hope you can help me. I’ve googled for the the answer and come up dry. Am I missing something?
Thank you for your time and for any information you may provide.
Well, I haven’t looked at the code for this widget in a while. I haven’t registered it at the wordpress plugin repo as I am not so sure it does much more than what an RSS widget could do. Here’s what code I have working with WP3.x(MultiSite):
