 * Hello!
 * Does anyone know how I can get the following recent posts code to work for 3.0
   MU? My sub-domain sites will NOT have their own blogs, but I would like all of
   them to display recent posts from the root domain:
 *     ```
       <ul>
                           <?php
                             $number_recents_posts = 6;//Can be how much you want
                             $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $number_recents_posts );
                             foreach($recent_posts as $post){
                               echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.$post["post_title"].'" >' .   $post["post_title"].'</a><br /><div class="newsdate">Posted: '.$post["post_date"].'</div></li> ';
                             } ?>
                           </ul>
       ```
   
 * Thanks!

       $number_recents_posts = 6;//Can be how much you want
                             $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $number_recents_posts );
                             foreach($recent_posts as $post){
                               echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.$post["post_title"].'" >' .   $post["post_title"].'</a><br /><div class="newsdate">Posted: '.$post["post_date"].'</div></li> ';
                             }
       ```
   
 * to something from this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
 * Maybe
 *     ```
       <ul>
        <?php
        global $post;
        $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=1');
        foreach($myposts as $post) :
          setup_postdata($post);
        ?>
           <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
       ```

 * Thank you! That worked!
 * Here is the format for tags:
 *     ```
       <ul>
        <?php
        global $post;
        $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&tag=tagslug,tagslug2');
        foreach($myposts as $post) :
          setup_postdata($post);
        ?>
           <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
       ```
