 * What I wanna be able to do, is have a list of the last ‘n’ post titles on a sidebar.
   And I know that the get_archives tag would do this, however, I want more fine
   grain control over it then what that would give me.
    Anyone have a suggestion
   on how I could do something like: <date><time>:<post title> of the last 14 posts?

 * Aside from setting the number of archive titles to be displayed, is this the 
   same as setting the ‘postbypost’ option in the admin panel?

   to do so) and get the following error when I add that code to WP 0.72
    Parse 
   error: parse error in index.php Any ideas?

 * Hi, along with that message there should be some more information as to what 
   is going wrong. At least there should be a line number.
    Could you give more 
   details, please? Mike

 * Sorry, that was my anonymous post above. I had another look at it and realize
   that I hadn’t closed the line properly, working great now, thanks!
