I am using the Recent Posts widget, which only shows the title of recent posts. However, I would like to show more than just the title. I would like to show the category, time and date, and an excerpt of the post. How can I do this? Do I need to edit the widget or a template? What code do I use? Thanks in advance.

You can’t change the standard Recent Posts widget easily. You might be better off looking for a recent posts widget/plugin with more features.

Okay, I will see if there is a suitable plugin. I did come across one plugin called “Advanced Most Recent Posts Mod” at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-most-recent-posts-mod/ that might do the trick. Thanks.
