 * Hey guys, the above is some code which I am placing in my ./footer.php file to
   call the 3 latest blogs posted. However I am having some issues getting it to
   work properly; when viewing the footer on for instance a Search Result page, 
   an Index page, or an Archive page all three latest posts load fine.
 * However, when viewing an actual blog post, only the description for the most 
   recent blog post recorded is included, with the other two featuring a blank blog
   description.
 * Any ideas?

 * what about using an archive tag instead?
 * `<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=20&format=custom'); ?>`
 * changing the 20 to 3

 * Not really a “content_rss” issue… more a “post” and “loop” issue.
    Your initial
   loop (showing the single post) and the second loop interfere whith each other.
