June 4, 2009 So, now we’re done with the revamp… we can get on with the really important stuff, delivering you darn great plugins and this is a particularly nice one I reckon.
It’s called Recent Posts and it allows you to display, guess what, recent posts from across your site on your frontopage (or, wherever you want to, in fact).
It requires the post indexer, and a bit of theme editing pokery, but that’s all you need to get a very nice looking front page that extends on our recent global posts widget.

Hi James,
Are you a mind reader? I was just looking for a way to put the news on the front page.
Except for the help in the PHP file, did you guys put together some tutorial that shows how to use it and the indexer and get the most of out them?
Thanks,
Amir
Hi Amir,
Cool :) At the moment the instructions in the download should do it – but we’re building up our help material too.
For an example of what can be done with this plugin take a look at vgb.no. Half of the sections on the frontpage are generated by variations on this plugin.
