4. After copying and pasting the code, put it below header or just above the footer just like shown on the image.
Customize
- If you want to change the width and height just change this width:125px;height:150px.
- To change the number of posts just replace this number 5;
- To change the snippet just replace the value 150;
Troubleshooting
At first I have some trouble using this widget when I put it below header or just above the footer. The snippet is messing with the widget near it and it looks ugly. I tried reducing the snippet value to zero, it helps, but there are still some letters left.
My solution was putting a gap using an image that will blend between this widget and the widget above or below it. In my case, my template is white, so I downloaded a 728x90 pure white image and place it in between. Now it doesn't mess with the design.
