## Sharraxaad

This plugin adds a simple widget that allows you to display a number of recent blog
posts from a specific category. You have the options to choose a title, category,
number of posts and whether or not to show the post date. The posts will be ordered
by date just like the default Recent Posts widget included with WordPress.

Installation and use is simple and practical (5 stars) but it does not support Multi
Site, hence the 2 stars

This plugin would be perfect if we could select multiple categories. Maybe for the
next update? It preserves the default styles css of the original theme, that’s great!!
Thank you very much Ross !!!!
