   How do you display the title of your top 3 recent blog posts in your sidebar along with a little paragraph about the post?

   Something like this in your sidebar.php

   <?php
   $posts=get_posts('post_type=post&amp;showposts=3');
   if ($posts) {
   foreach($posts as $post) {
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   <?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php }
   }
   ?>

   Note until Automattic fixes the forum, code is somewhat mangled so the "$post=..." should be:

   $posts=get_posts('post_type=post&showposts=3');

   What's the rest of the code?

   This partially works, but it replaces the content area as well.
