   I see that you can manually specify a particular user. But is there a way to have the list automatically display the latest posts by whoever is logged in? I'd like each author to be able to see a list of their own latest posts.

   No, this feature is not built into the plugin. I believe you could modify the plugin using the wp_get_current_user() function and hopefully come up with something pretty close to what you're describing though.

   Ok, I found a solution. First, I'm using the Shortcode Exec PHP plugin to allow me to execute PHP on pages. Then I use this PHP:

   global $current_user;
         get_currentuserinfo();
       $my_posts = get_posts( array( 'author' => $current_user->ID, 'numberposts' => 100 ) );
   
       $output = '
   <ul>';
       foreach ( $my_posts as $my_post ) {
           $output .= '
   <li><a>ID ) . '">' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $my_post->post_title, $my_post->ID ) . '</a>, (<a>ID . '&action=edit" target="_blank">Edit</a>)</li>
   ';
       }
       $output .= '</ul>
   ';
   
       return $output;

   That loads all the posts by whoever's logged in (up to 100). If you're not logged in, it just shows all the posts (up to 100).
