I would like to display the recent post widget (or find a similar solution) in a static content area. I’m using a theme that only has sidebar as widget ready. So, how can I go about doing this?

Thanks,
Melanie

Could use one of these plugins that offers a placeholder or shortcode to list poist in a pages content.

* http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/ (uses shortcode)
* http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-posts-list/ (uses shortcode [posts]}

Thank you Michael!

I checked these out and it looks like the first one you listed will do what I want, but after I installed it I can’t find where to manage it. Do you have experience with this plugin?

If I remember it is under Posts->Postlists.

Right, that’s where it is. Not where I was looking but I suppose it makes sense. This plugin is EXACTLY what I needed.
