Hey guys real quick question for the pro's I have a recent posts sidebar widget on our site and I can select say show the last 10 most popular posts. The problem I am running into is that my keyword densaty is getting out of wack as the title of the posts is showing 10 times. I would like to exclude some words from showing from the widget...

 

Example: I have say 10 posts: Bald Red Widgets, Harry Red Widgets, Smooth Red Widgets etc etc. I would like for the widget to not use the full title of the posts and not show the word "Red Widgets". I was told I should do this useing something like the str_replace function however I have no idea where to put it or the code itself, can someone help?
