 * Hi, I want to list the 5 most recent posts on my sidebar with ‘next’ and ‘previous’
   links at the bottom where the user can click ‘next’ and it’ll show them the next
   5 most recent posts.
 * Does anyone know how to do this?
 * Thanks
 * Matt

 * This might be a good alternative. I know you were looking for a next and previous
   to show 5 posts at a time, but this is a pagination plugin. You can set it up
   to show 5 posts, then you’ll get pagination instead of next and previous.

 * I’ll keep looking… this can easily be done manually too, if you’re not interested
   in plugins. I don’t know your experience level.

 * This actually looks just what I’m looking for – I’m going to try it out later
   and report back. Many thanks
