 * Hello world,
    I have a problem with showposts. Code: … `$recent = new WP_Query('
   showposts=10'); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();` …
 * and I would like to change the number of “showposts” from the administration.
 * I found the instruction how to create widget in /wp-admin/
    but i dont know how
   to create a simple form to change and save number of showed posts.
 * Thank you for your help.
