How do i use Query Posts as a widget? [closed]

Question

I want to create a widget with the last post from a user. It should look like this:

POST TITLE Excerpt [...]

And i need to link the post title as a permalink to the post. I'll also be manually adding a user thumbnail linking to the user's posts and widget title manually.

I might need to use this widget more than once, for different users.

Can someone please provide me with the php code please? If user filter is not possible, a tag or category filter could also do.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Take a look at aptly named Query Posts plugin, that provides widget that wraps and displays query.

Even if it doesn't fit your needs precisely, likely you will be able to reuse or extend code from it.
