Incorrect display of related posts in widget #10

From Mike:

When I publish the page, the related posts are not what I selected. Instead they seem to be completely different posts than what I have selected.

Example post: http://training-stage.publicbroadcasting.net/blog/test-post/

On that sample page, there are 2 related post selections. One is a post (which displays on the widget front-end), the other is a page, which does not.

I think this is mostly UI confusion caused because you can select posts that won't actually show up on the front end. The PR should resolve that.

Another point worth mentioning - the widget itself allows you to specify how many related posts to show. If there are not enough posts selected to fill the widget, or if some of the posts are drafts, etc. (fixed in the PR), then the widget will auto-select other posts to fill in the missing slots. This is why Mike reported that completely different posts were being displayed.
