 * Suppose you simplify things a bit. here’s how I use it:
    `<ul> <?php related_posts();?
   > </ul>
 * and it works fine. Try that, using default parms, and see if it works so we know
   if the issue is with your parms or the plugin.

 * Does your theme have a single.php? If so, only add it there.
 * If your theme doesn’t have a single.php, perhaps create one (copy index.php is
   one easy way to go about it).

 * This is so much easier when we can see the site…
 * So, if you just want it in the side bar for single view only, then ignore my 
   previous post.
 * Instead, read up on [Conditional_Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)
   like `is_single()`. You’d use that in your sidebar around the block of code to
   show related posts.
 * I don’t recall if this plugin needs to be in [The_Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop)
   or not, so you may have some challenges there.

    - if (is_single())
       { <?php related_posts(); ?> }
 * above code is right ?
