blogstarter

Objective: create a two liner post that appears in the sidebar.

me thought two options:
Option one: why not publish a page that will contain this two liner post and the content of this page gets published in the sidebar. With every new week, me go back to this page, edit it and update it with new content.

me problem: how to extract content from a page to put in sidebar, if we know the page id?

Option two: Asides plugins provide similar option, but me not want plugin. Me like hack at this link:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides

Me think in option two like this: code to get posts in particular category – in this case ‘asides’ – very cleary shown in the link above, but how to show only the latest post instead of the entire 10, 20 posts that may be defined in my wordpress admin configuration section.

me hoping now things clear 🙂 please help
