Installing the Recent Post Slider Widget in the Sidebar

This time I will give a tutorial that is no less cool than the previous tutorial article, which is about how to Install the Recent Post Slider Widget in the Sidebar. Recent Post Slider Widget is quite interesting because it will bring up a list of the latest articles with thumbnails and slider effects that will continue to run automatically. Not only that, this widget can also be set to bring up the latest articles based on labels.



This widget matches added on the sidebar blog page, because the size is right to be installed in the sidebar. Okay, the rest follow the tutorial below
