   How do I create a menu like you see here:
   http://www.hdpixel.com/blog/index.php
   He has a "Recent Posts" Menu that allows users to click to 5-6 of his most recent posts.
   How would I go about doing this?
   Thank you

   <?php get_recent_posts(); ?>

   Where would I put that code? In the index.php file, correct?
   I want the "recent posts" to appear above my categories...so how would I place the code to do this?
   Here is the code from the php file for the menu:
   <div id="menu">

   <li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>
   <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

   <?php get_links_list(); ?>

   Where would I place <?php get_recent_posts(); ?>
   Thanks

   alright, but does anyone know how i get those recent posts on a non-wp page? (i've searched the support forums and can't find it or it doesn't seem to work)

   atease - follow the guide I wrote for static pages and the code will work.

   I have been trying to figure out how to add options (specifically, how to get recent posts offset by 20 - the number already displayed on my index page) to the get_recent_posts() function in the latest CVS download versions... I tried using the syntax from the get_recent_posts plugin, but it did not work. The plugin did not work either, perhaps because it conflicts with the wp_get_recent_posts in xmlrpc.php? Thank anyone who can help....
