WordPress.org

Well, I'm not familiar with that particular plugin, but if you are simply looking to list by title with a link to recent posts for your side bar this bit of code would suffice
<h3><?php _e('Recent Posts'); ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Obviously you can alter numberposts to what ever you want, and the <h3> tags can be changed to <h2> or what ever your sidebar uses
EDIToops, missed a line when I copied and pasted...

<?php if (function_exists('mdv_recent_posts')) mdv_recent_posts(); ?>

The above will work if you downloaded the file from, or it mentions, mtdewvirus.com

Don't worry about changing numbers until it works :)

miklb: I just tried your code and it works great. I am using it on a sidebar with an address like this 'www.mysite.com/directory'. If I wanted to take those same posts and publish them on a sidebar of my main site at 'www.mysite.com' how do I call that (I am currently using a plugin to do this but having trouble with the css so think your solution would be much better?)

Many thanks
