Add ‘Recent Post’ to side menu

https://r0x0rz.info/ (Look to the right (2nd block)). If thats what you want:

<?php get_archives('postbypost', 10); ?>

Change 10 to the number of posts you want displayed. ??

Thank you, let me see if it works. I put it under <div id=”menu”>

does the get_archives function have an option for category ? so it only grabs the recent posts in a certain category ? thanks

This is how you look it up.

“does the get_archives function have an option for category ? “

No. But take a look at the Plugins page on the WP wiki for a few possibilities:
