Version 1.5 is now available.

This plugin provides configurable links to posts and comments from the blog it is installed into. The output from the plugin can either be displayed as a widget in the sidebar on your Wordpress 2.2+ blog OR embedded into any HTML page on any PHP powered site.

Full styling and configuration options are available.

• Latest Posts: Show post title, date and author and an excerpt of the post content.
• Latest Comments: Show comment date, author and excerpt of the comment.
• Styling: allow your site’s styles to cascade or define inline styles in your admin options.
• Optionally create a page in your blog to display the latest events.
