Create a Wordpress widget

[Aso]

So I'm starting to get to grips with Wordpress, and the flexibility is simply WOW.

I've found a slice of code for generating a list of pages, based on the page you are on (only parent and child of the current parent is shown)

PHP: Select all

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

But I'm stuck on how to integrate this into my sidebar. I'm using dynamic sidebars, so my guess is create this as a widget, then just drag and drop it from my WP admin menu - but how do I create a widget?

Many thanks

Alex
