Looks like a seperate plugin for something that is placed in a 3rd column
Reckon you could look for a plugin like that ?
Yeah maybe. Never heard of a plugin like that – but i’ll see if I can find one.
My thought was that if I dedicated a category for small posts it would be possible to show the posts from that category in it’s own column on the front page and not have those post show up in the “main” post area? Don’t care about having different feeds for them – one would do fine. Anyone knows if this is possible?
I’ve pretty much found what I’m looking for in the Codex in the advanced section on The Loop ( http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop )
What I’ve done is to create a category for all the posts I want to display in a list of it’s own on the front page.
The codex says that it’s possible to run The Loop several times on the same page. After the first Loop is finished in my index.php I’ve added another div and run The Loop again inside:
// Get the last 10 posts in the Diversions category.
<?php query_posts('category_name=Diversions&showposts=10');Â ?>
<?php while (have_posts())Â : the_post();Â ?>
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
It all looks so nice and neat but I get the parse error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /customers/apt47.com/apt47.com/httpd.www/dev_blog/wp-content/themes/apt47/index.php on line 51
Which is this line <?php while (have_posts())Â : the_post();Â ?>
Anyone a WordPress genius and can figure out what’s wrong?
Ok, no worries. I took the easy way and just took the data I need directly from the database. It’s not as nice and definately not as good for future updates.. but hell.. it works 🙂
Thanks anyway.

The alternative is to use Miniblog Plugin in the sidebar. It is work very well for me. Download from http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=28639
