## Description

The plugin provides a sidebar widget with customisable title and number of related
posts to display.
 The widget will display a random list of x number of posts ( 
selected in widget options ) together with a small tag including the publish date
and author. If used outside of a specific category the widget will default to all
categories, whilst still displaying the selected number of random posts.
