   thanks emsi, but I want to show excerpts, not just the listed item. is that possible? I found a plugin "recent-post with excerpt" that I am going to try.

   Put this in a PHP Code Widget:

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => 10,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
       the_excerpt();
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
