## Description

The idea behind this widget is quite simple. Your WordPress blog's front page shows
only pre-set number of latest posts. Let's say the front page shows 10 latest posts.
However, if you wish to display few older posts in the widget area starting from
the 11th latest post, then this widget is of use to you. Define the x-th recent 
post from which the widget need to display and how many posts to display and the
widget will elegantly do just that 🙂
