recent posts php code - sidebar
In my blog side bar, it is not dynamic, it follows the code below. I want to add a recent posts section above the category section.
What is the code do I add to get a recent posts list showing up like the category list?

I added your code, and the recent posts are now listed in the right hand column. But, I need to know how to make the Recent Post list display the same way as the Categories list...only links to articles.
