[Plugin: Special Recent Posts] tags create space before and after posts

Hi,

Great plugin, thanks!!

I was just wondering why before and after the title+post block, there are empty <p> </p> tags which take space (which is in my case especially troublesome because of the alignment of the ttitle at the top of the page with other elements of the site.

<div class="entry-content">
<p><!-- BOF Special Recent Posts FREE Edition ver1.9.6 --></p>
<h3 class="widget-title srp-widget-title">
<a class="srp-widget-title-link" href="https://danieldenhoedstichting.nl/website/category/nieuws/" title="Nieuws">Nieuws</a>
</h3>
<div class="srp-widget-container">
<div id="-srp-singlepost-1" class="srp-widget-singlepost">

etcetera (at the end of the block, (near the EOF comment, there is another <p></p> that I cannot explain.

Thanks for any help!

Cheers,
Martin
