    I have a wordpress site with constant feed of shopping items. I would like a side bar widget to show seasonal offers such as Christmas product posts. Is there a plugin or bit of code to achieve this easly?

    One example:

    Not sure what you mean by keywords though.

    I looked at the link but it only outputs a category result to the side bar widget. What i want is to output a search term result such as "christmas Offers" that will show a number of posts with thet term.

    Thats what I meant by "keyword" term.

    So you want something different than what the Search widget offers?

    What I want is to show a list of relevant posts in the sidebar such as "Christmas Offers". So the widget should pick relevant posts with the word "Christmas" and display them on the sidebar.

    Would the relevant words be based on a posts's tags, categories, custom fields, or text in content?

    So you would want to tell the widget what term to search?

    Mostly text in content.

    I can't see how the section widget will show posts to do with a certain phrase in side bar. Can you give me an example how that might work?

    I'm wrong about that plugin--thought it was something else.

    Maybe look at some of the "related posts" plugins that will come close to your objective.
