 * Hi,
 * I am just curious if it is possible to customize your recent posts list in the
   fashion of [http://veerle.duoh.com](http://veerle.duoh.com)…? I would like to
   have something similar to her “Previously” space, where I can list my recent 
   posts but with different colored post-titles and commenting details. I would 
   also like to make each post-title along with its details into one large link.
 * Heh. Yeah. Not quite sure if that made sense, but please resort to the link mentioned
   above for extra aid.

 * Yep, its definitely possible. But you’re going to have to modify your theme files
   and enclose the title and date tags within the permalink link. As for the colors,
   you’ll need to wrap the various elements in CSS tags and then _style_ them in
   your stylesheet.
 * Are you familiar with modifying themes? What’s your blog’s url?

 * Alrighty then. I’m just confuzzled how I should call for the post-titles and 
   commenting details because when I tried to implement the Customizable Post Listings
   plug-in, I was unable to modify the elements the way I truly wanted them. And
   then I read something about custom “loops,” but I think that that’s taking the
   long-about route. Do you know what I should do to call for my recent posts and
   their commenting details?
 * Also, I can’t really supply a URL because I’m working on my layout locally ^^;
   I hope that’s not an inconvenience.
