3. From the WordPress admin backend, in the Widgets menu, drag-and-drop the widget to your sidebar.  You can place it in any position you like.
4. Specify the settings for the widget: Title, Site URL, Username, Number of Items, and Keywords. For the keywords, you can specify:
   • a single word, like “toyota”.  This will fetch items with the word “toyota”.
