Hi,
Thanks for developing such a wonderful plugin. I just had two queries.
1) How do I display the excerpt below the post title of the serial posts?
2) If I have 10 posts of the same series and for some reasons they all are to display on the same page, then this plugin displays the serial posts for each of that post which makes the entire thing very messy. Is it not possible that the plugin displays the serial posts but for the 1st post only.
For e.g. I have 10 posts name:
1. This is a Article – Part 1
2. This is a Article – Part 2
3. This is a Article – Part 3
4. This is a Article – Part 4
5. This is a Article – Part 5
If for some reason, all these posts were to be displayed on the same page, then they would look like this:
This is a Article – Part 5
The post contents….bla… bla… bla…More from This is a Article »
* This is a Article – Part 1
* This is a Article – Part 2
* This is a Article – Part 3
* This is a Article – Part 4
* This is a Article – Part 5
This is a Article – Part 4
The post contents….bla… bla… bla…More from This is a Article »
* This is a Article – Part 1
* This is a Article – Part 2
* This is a Article – Part 3
* This is a Article – Part 4
* This is a Article – Part 5
This is a Article – Part 3
The post contents….bla… bla… bla…More from This is a Article »
* This is a Article – Part 1
* This is a Article – Part 2
* This is a Article – Part 3
* This is a Article – Part 4
* This is a Article – Part 5
This is a Article – Part 2
The post contents….bla… bla… bla…More from This is a Article »
* This is a Article – Part 1
* This is a Article – Part 2
* This is a Article – Part 3
* This is a Article – Part 4
* This is a Article – Part 5
This is a Article – Part 1
The post contents….bla… bla… bla…More from This is a Article »
* This is a Article – Part 1
* This is a Article – Part 2
* This is a Article – Part 3
* This is a Article – Part 4
* This is a Article – Part 5
In the above case, the plugin should show serial posts for the 1st entry displayed at the top. I hope I am able to narrate my query correctly.

Hi,
Glad you like the plugin. 
1. For your first question, you would have to modify the plugin code to display the excerpt. I can see that this would be useful so I will consider this for a future release.
2. For your second question, I don't agree. The Serail Post list is designed to be displayed on single post pages, not archive or blog pages. However, if you display full posts on your archive/blog page then yes, I see that you wouldn't like the lists. :-) Are you saying that in this case you would only want the list to be displayed under the latest post?
