Afaik you can do this by adding the right params to your skins container .... but buggered if I can remember which params you'd need to add ....... maybe my mind will catch up with the planet sometime soon and I'll be able to tell you for definite ....... alternatively you could use the "free html" widget to replicate the links ;)

Thanks Yabba, I was thinking I'll fall back to free HTML if I can't get it to work properly. My 1.10 installation at the minute uses hard-coded HTML in the skin anyway so it'd still be a slight improvement.

For anyone who is interested: I found the place to change the 'Recently' to whatever text you want:

Edit the file at line 125:

/inc/widgets/widgets/_coll_common_links.widget.php

echo '<strong><a href="'.$Blog->get('url').'">'.T_('Recently').'</a></strong>';
