Code updated with:

- 1 - FURL detection and support added.
- 2 - Increment support added

Question: Should this code be merged with NewsListing so that it can be called as [!NewsListing&archivemode=1!] or should it remain as a separate snippet?

I tend to thing this should be merged in. I also tend to think we should do an Archive where it can be done annually by month. Perhaps we could use this as an archive plugin-like snippet by calling the appropriate snippet via the API call.

Oh, and very cool stuff

Version updated

Are multiple calls on same page supported ?

Yes, version 1.4 does.

Thank you Mark

How about updating the first post too ?

[EDIT]: It is rendering word " Array " after summary ? what is that ?
