Hi guys. For some reason the first Recent Post Widget seems not to be working on my case and for some users. And as part of the goal to make sure this blogsite up-to-date I am now updating or rather sharing it to you guys a recent post widget that is working for me and for some bloggers out there. This updated widget is very similar to the first version, It displays the title only. no date. no summary. Simply just the post title.

Add a HTML Gadget on your layout then paste the CODE 1.0 on it.
