   I do a weekly "This week in news" and every time I have to copy/paste each title and link into a blog post.

   Does anyone know how to show the last X number of post titles with links in a blog post?

   I found this in the codex, but it just ouputs the PHP code:

   <?php
    $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
    foreach ($postslist as $post) :
       setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <div>
    <?php the_date(); ?>
    <br />
    <?php the_title(); ?>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

   Thanks a lot

   Try this:

   <ul> <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?> </ul>

   Change 10 to whatever number of posts you want.

   Hey thanks for the reply. It didn't output anything though, just a blank screen :-(

   If you're putting it into a post, you're going to need a plugin to execute php in posts. Exec-PHP is one.
