   I've been looking for a plugin that will extend the basic Recent Posts (or replace it) Widget. What I want to achieve is for it to show not only the title of the Post, but the category before it. I've found this (which is nice) http://www.category-icons.com/ but I'd rather have text than possibly confusing icons. So where it may have looked like this:

   Latest Posts
   Star Wars
   Bugatti Veyron
   Coffee

   I'd like it to look like this:

   Latest Posts
   Movies: Star Wars
   Cars: Bugatti Veyron
   Beverages: Coffee

   If anyone has come across something like this I'd be vastly grateful, my searches haven't turned up anything.

   This thread has an example of putting the category before the title:

   <p> <?php the_category(', '); ?> -
         <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
