 * I would like to use the recent post plugin by mtdewvirus ([http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/](http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/))
   in a dropdown menu. Can someone give me a hint? I’ve searched the forum and google
   but couldn’t find anything.

 * Download the zip file from the page you have mentioned. Read the readme, or the
   plugin/hack file for instructions.

 * I’ve read them again but there are no instructions how to use the plugin in a
   dropdown menu. It’s originally written to be displayed in a list and not in a
   dropdown menu. Any other clue?

 * A friend of mine wrote a variation of Nick Momriks Get Recent Posts ([http://wiki.wordpress.org/Recent%20Posts](http://wiki.wordpress.org/Recent%20Posts))
   and a variation of the code written by KarlB ([http://wordpress.org/support/10/10374](http://wordpress.org/support/10/10374))
   which displays most recent posts with date in a dropdown menu.
    You can download
   the plugin and the readme file here: [http://www.patata.de/plugins/ddpostswithdate.zip](http://www.patata.de/plugins/ddpostswithdate.zip)

 * Thanks! It works- but is there a way to shrink the size of the drop-down menu?
   It’s really hard to fit in a blog that has 3 columns.
 * Is there a way to have the drop down look like this (on the left column):
    [http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/](http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/)?

 * What they did is tricky- I can’t find a script to help me do that anywhere.

 * Try adding this to your select line
 * style=”width:144px”
 * You may need to add slashes if the line is in a php line. ie
 * style=\”width:144px\”
 * I did that and the drop down list of recent posts is the same size as the one
   on that Little green footballs weblog.
 * Hope that helps.
