1. Recent posts with side scroll, you can set height and count value

2. Recent posts slider widget with fade effect.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://blogger-json-experiment.googlecode.com/svn/resources/blogger-feed-rotator-plugin/default-style.min.css"/>3. For me this one is a nice recent post widget
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="slider-rotator" class="slider-rotator loading"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://blogger-json-experiment.googlecode.com/svn/resources/blogger-feed-rotator-plugin/blogger-feed-rotator.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
makeSlider({
url: "http://YOUR-BLOGSPOT-URL"
});
</script>

<link href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/137869302/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/137869302/json.js"></script> <script type='text/javascript'> var numposts = 3; var showpostthumbnails = true; var displaymore = false; var displayseparator = true; var showcommentnum = false; var showpostdate = false; var showpostsummary = false; var numchars = 100;</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://YOUR-BLOGSPOT-URL/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs"></script>
4. Static recent posts, I was use it here in my blog, now I use no.2

<script language="JavaScript"> imgr = new Array(); imgr[0] = "https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-U6Zvv-gKB9Q/T7nuuNurOUI/AAAAAAAAAlE/XUhuecqHO0w/s200/images.jpeg"; showRandomImg = true; tablewidth = 400; cellspacing = 2; borderColor = "#11170d"; bgTD = "#73b0a9"; imgwidth = 120; //image thumb with imgheight = 90; //image thumb height fntsize = 12; acolor = "#000"; aBold = false; icon = " "; text = "comments"; showPostDate = false; summaryPost = 0; // this to show summary or not summaryFontsize = 11; summaryColor = "#666"; icon2 = " "; numposts = 7; //how many post show home_page = "http://YOUR-BLOGSPOT-URL"; </script> <script src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/55hv1y6m4zmbgtu/recentposts_horizontal.js?dl=1&token_hash=AAHP5vPfxrschulh4xx4fOTLVlheTKjU0ZiaTpSXNQE3sQ" type="text/javascript"></script>
That's four common kinds of recent post which usually used on my blog, but there is one blogger recent posts without javascript which can used, it from feedburner publicize buzzboost, you can see how it display from there.
I hope you can choose which one is best for your blog and do not forget to adjust site address YOUR-BLOGSPOT-URL became yours, thanks.
