 * [ipstenu] please accept my apology if im posting it in the wrong forum but i 
   thought this might be the only one to get a hold of you. since I found no answer
   to my plugin question i thought maybe you can guide me and then close this post.
 * Is there any plugin or widget or module that can show the summery of my 5 last
   posts of my blog, on my website ? with a thumbnail/title/and summery of the text
   with a read more at the end of it ?
 * please let me know if possible and please accept my appology if i missbehaved.
   its just that im new to this forum.

 * That is not a plugin, it’s a function of a theme. look for a theme that does 
   what you want.

 * What she said :). That’s all stuff built into WP, you just have to theme it.
 * And I actually DID answer your question about how to get posts from your other
   blogs on a multisite install onto your main site — [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-wanna-use-multiuple-blogs](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-wanna-use-multiuple-blogs)

   and codes that i have to have in a function theme. and unfortunalty i don’t know
   how to find a theme with that function available. could you guys give me the 
   code for such thing so that i can copy paste it in the function form. this thing
   is a very handy and usfull thing but unfortunalty theres no direct answers to

 * no we can’t and no there isn’t.
 * It’s not some code you can copy & paste into a theme’s functions file – it’s 
   a *feature* of the front page of the theme.
 * look up “magazine themes”.

 * I renamed this thread to something actually useful. Having your post title explain
   what you need is a lot better than using my name, which just makes me chuckle
   😉
 * And I have to point out, this **is not** a multisite question, it’s a theme question
   and really belongs here: [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates)
 * Alvaro’s plugin’s really only good for sidebar stuff, and not for the main display
   of your site.
 * Given your reaction the last time I moved your post, I’m hesitant about closing
   this – even though it really is generic WordPress and not MultiSite. This subforum
   is for Multisite specifically. You don’t have it yet, and themes work, regardless
   of if you have MultiSite or not, so there’s no worry there 🙂
 * If you want MultiSite support for your OTHER question, post here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-wanna-use-multiuple-blogs](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-wanna-use-multiuple-blogs)
 * If you need help with a theme (editing, designing etc), make a NEW post here:
