## Description

This plugin creates a new widget which allows you to show recent posts by tags. 
The default Recent Posts widget in WordPress shows recent posts belonging to all
categories. But this plugin gives you the option to show recent posts by tags. It
is helpful if you are mainly using tags to categorize your posts.
