Easy to use widgets
The first widget that the plugin provides allows you to add a gallery style display of all your categories (or tags/ custom taxonomies).
There are options to control the number of columns in the output, the order and the amount of padding around the images. You can also choose to hide the categories that do not have posts assigned to them.
This widget is great to display your featured images as a navigation tool in a sidebar instead of just a list of categories to choose from.

The second widget allows you to select the single term (ie one category or tag) to be displayed in a widget area.
