   Movable Type has a feature that posts the name of a post. This is a link in the side bar right to the post and allows you to go past the category option. Has anyone written a hack for this? I am interested in doing it if no one has.
   Please advise.
   Thanks,
   Dave Merwin

   That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. How do I learn more and more in WP. That was SO easy. I would like to see MT do that!
   Let me know where I can learn more about the coding behind WP.

   i would also love it if there were a simple plugin to list posts by title in the side bar. either a "recent" type of list, or even organized by category or date.
   but recent or last # would surely be a great addition to WP

   oooh...
   use archives:
   <?php get_archives('postbypost','20','html'); ? >

   is there a hack for recent posts that will use the first X words of a post if there is no title?
   i am using get_archives and discovered that for posts with no title it displays the numeric post id (i.e. '52') in its place -- not very attractive. to see what i mean visit this blog: http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog
