  I’m pretty sure this isn’t possible, but I figured I might as well ask. Is there a way to change the Top Post widgest to All Time instead of within the last 24-48 hours? Also is there a way to block out certain posts from going on the widget, such as About or Contact pages?

  Thank you.

  Nope, nope, nope. HOWEVER you can completely customize it by taking it out of the sidebar and instead putting in a text widget with whatever you want. Top Posts is very self-reinforcing and once something’s on there it doesn’t usually drop off, but a huge gap in hits develops between posts on the widget an other posts. You might prefer to list the posts you’re proudest of and want more exposure for, or your All Time top posts, since once they’re on the widget they’ll only get even MORE popular.
