Unfortunately, in_category doesn’t understand category child-parent relationships. If, for example, category 11 (bananas) is a child of category 2 (fruits), in_category(’2′) will return FALSE when viewing post about bananas.
So if you want the same text to be applied to the category AND all its sub-categories, you’ll have to list them all. Syntax like in_category(2,11) is not allowed. You’ll have to use PHP || (logical OR) && (logical AND) in the expression.

About the format you can adjust as you like, the number of posts is set by numberposts=5
<?php $rand_posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5&orderby=rand’);
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>

Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos. – Wikipedia
