<p>LJ Random or Recent is a WordPress plugin/widget that allows you to display a list of Random or Recent posts depending of the type of pages that is being displayed. This plugin can also assist your site for SEO by digging up and making your older content relevant.</p>
<p>The idea was taken from the iNove theme which by default has a similar setup in the sidebar, I just wanted a little bit more functionality plus the ability to put the widget anywhere on the page with any theme.</p>

<p>Advanced Most Recent Posts Widget displays your recent posts with thumbnail images (optional). It gets posts from selected categories or current category or all categories. When your visitors are at home, it gets posts from all posts or selected category. If you set ‘Get posts from current category’, when visitors see single post, widget lists posts in the same category of single post or when visitors click a category link, it gets posts from current category.</p>
<p>Notice: This widget requires at least 2.8.</p>
<h3>Options</h3>
<p>Widget’s options allow you to change your recent posts list displaying.</p>
<h4>Title:</h4>
<p>Your recent posts widget’s title on your sidebar.</p>
<h4>Number of posts to show:</h4>

<h4>Excerpt length (letters)</h4>
<p>You know that</p>
<h4>Thumbnail Custom Field Name</h4>
<p>If you want to display the thumbnail of your posts via a custom field, write its name.</p>
<h4>Height – Width</h4>
<p>Images size.</p>
<h4>Get first image of post</h4>
<p>If you don’t want to use custom field, plugin will get first image from your post content.</p>
<h4>Get first attached image of post</h4>
<p>Plugin gets first attached image of post.</p>
<h4>Default image</h4>
<p>If post has no image, plugin display this image. Ex: http://www.yakupgovler.com/default-image.png</p>
<p>Notice: If you use three options, plugin uses custom field image firstly. If the post has no custom field, it gets first image from content. At last it gets first attached image. I suggest not to use “Get first image of post” for performance. It queries much more.</p>
<h4>Categories</h4>
<p>Plugin gets posts in these categories. (Category IDs, separated by commas.)</p>
<h4>Get posts from current category:</h4>
<p>Posts will be get from current category (single post’s category or current category).</p>
