5. Now, replace blog address (written in blue colour) with your blog address. 

E.g.: http://blog-address.blogspot.com   (Change the red word with your blog address)

6. Now, click save button 

 You can still change  Number of recent posts to be shown in this widget anytime you like.

See thi line  <script type="text/javascript">var numposts = 10;var showpostdate = false;var standardstyling = true;</script> 

  You see 10 written  in red colour.  In your widget replace 10 with any number you like, 4/5/6 or 7. This number is the number of posts to be shown in your recent posts widget.

I hope you gain something!!!
