 * Hello,
    [http://www.thenouveaustyle.com/](http://www.thenouveaustyle.com/)
 * I want to make the posts that appear in my widget to be only my sticky posts,
   or only one category that I have called front-page.
 * These posts appear directly under the slider, but currently the widget shows 
   all recent posts. I want the same 4 posts there at all times.
 * Here is what is in my text widget:
 * [tabs tab1=”Services”]
    [tab1][recent_posts num=”4″ type=”post” meta=”true” thumb
   =”true” thumb_size=”small-post-thumbnail” more_text_single=”Read more” excerpt_count
   =”10″ custom_class=”posts” more_link=”blog” more_text=”See all services”][/tab1][/
   tabs]
 * How do I define category posts instead of recent posts?
 * Thanks!
