Thank you for this – while it is not 100% exactly the output I am looking for, the functionality is what I have been looking for for days! That being said (though it looks as though you have stopped responding/supporting this) how can I add the date of the post, so that it looks like this:

Title
Date
Excerpt
More Link

I have added the more link easily, but I cannot get date to work. I actually tried to add

echo the_date(); but that does not work because that can only be used in the Loop (I think) can anyone help?

Hi J,

Great plugin. Is there a way to show comments under the_excerpt?

Many thanks,

How can I display the last articles minus the last 6?

I have 6 articles on the front page from a category but I don’t want to display those again.

Also is there a way to limit the amount of charachters in the excerpt that shows up without limiting what the actual excerpt is.

Thanks.

I’m also wondering how can i reverse the order of the posts listed in the widget?

So it’ll be ordered by the date it was published (which means oldest first)

Thanks

How can I go about theming the widget with CSS? Where in the code do I place the classes?

The problem can be fixed with the code below, replacing the default one about the date:

$Timestamp=strtotime($post->post_date);
echo ” . date(“d-m-Y”, $Timestamp) . ”;

So now the post shows the date the post was added and not the current date.
