   I am creating new pages for one of my blogs, http://knoxify.com/ and I would like to display a list in the sidebar of the 5 latest posts with a certain tag.

   I have read various tutorials similar to this topic with no luck. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

   Thanks in advance for the help.

   This will take 5 posts, randomly, having the specified tag associated whit them.

   I hope I don't forget anything. It should work in the sidebar.
   In case of problems, add <?php rewind_posts(); ?> just after calling the header in the template.

   <ul>
    <?php
    $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&tag=WHATEVER&orderby=rand');
    foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
    ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>
