Widgets are a cool new feature built into wordpress version 2.2, and allow you to drag mini plugins into your widget-enabled theme’s sidebars.
They have all kinds of uses, searches, polls, you name it.
This article will show you how to create a customisable Recent post widget for yourself.
I’ve added a new version of the popular curvy corners plugin. This version removes the problem of extra padding within boxes (by using negative margins), works in IE7 and Safari, and loads faster. The downside is that the packed version has a larger filesize; to reduce the /packer/ overhead I did not encode it, but you can repack if you want a smaller file.
The official page is here and the demo page is here. Enjoy!
