Hello all. I have a quick (hopefully) question. Is it possible to get a page's content (not a post, a real page i.e. about us) and show it within the sidebar?
If not is there a simple alternative to this?
Thanks for the help.

theres more than one way to do that.
can you be more specific?
a wordpress page? a standalone page? what? and the whole page? 1/2 the page? a blurb? what?
if its a wordpress page, do you plan on changing the content of it? if not, its not short enough to just paste the content into the sidebar, or a widget?
heres a plugin, if its a wordpress page

you could use the standard php include() if it were a standalone page.

Is that just because it has not been updated since 2.7 or will it still work with 2.8.4

some plugins work, some don't
