 * That’s the default behavior of the plugin. If you just type [display-posts], 
   it will list just the post titles of the 10 most recent posts.
 * You can add whatever additional parameters you’d like to modify the listing and
   output. You only get the excerpts if you have include_excerpt=”true”.

 * i find this to be untrue. when i only post that the entire posts show up for 
   all the posts. I am only seeking the title

 * Are you sure you haven’t added any code to your theme that changes the default
   behavior of this plugin?
 * Here’s a screenshot of a blank WordPress installation, running the default theme(
   TwentyEleven), running Display Posts Shortcode, and using just [display-posts]
   as the shortcode: [http://twitpic.com/a7z21e](http://twitpic.com/a7z21e)
 * As you see, the default behavior is an unordered list with just the post title.
   If you have something different, that means either you, your theme, or a plugin
   you have is changing the default behavior of the Display Posts Shortcode plugin
