Sorry just most recent ten. Its getting late here, and I am really tired 😉
If you search, you’ll find a lot of solutions:
– using a “recent posts” plugin
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Plugins/Archive
– using the get_archives template tag
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/get_archives
– using a miniloop

etc.

Thanks.
Trouble is I had already explored those options but couldn’t find a solution that would lay them out how I needed them – no matter what combination I tried. I did try the search solution first, but had hoped someone could assist by pointing me in the direction of laying it out exactly the way they had.
But yes, thanks for your help.
I want to do something similar — list of headlines with brief extract — in the main content of my home page.
I’ve looked at using the_extract in the template. But I notice that the extract, if one does not use the <!–more–> quicktag is 55 words long. So, two questions:
1) Is it possible to modify the number of words displayed by the_extract?
2) If not, is is possible to aoutmatically insert the <!–more–> quicktag after a specific number of words? I’m just being lazy and do not want to have to do it by hand.
Thanks
p.s. Can I unresolve a topic?
No, you can’t “unresolve” it since you didn’t start it. Only the OP can do it. Morale: don’t post in resolved topics 🙂
there is a plugin: the_excerpt_reloaded (not extract)
Yeh, sorry about the extract thing. I’ll try the plug-in. Looks like it will do the trick.
