Blogspot – Blogroll showing latest posts
-
Hi – I’m following a few blogspot blogs (sorry!) and have noticed on one of them that their Blogroll shows details of the last post and when posted which is pretty neat. Are there any plans to introduce this to wordpress or does it exist already and I just haven’t figured out how to do it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

and I just haven’t figured out how to do it?
Yes
Use a RSS Widget in your sidebar or footer
Dashboard >> Appearance >> Widgets >> Drag & drop the RSS Widget

Aha – thanks very much for quick reply. I should have realised that wordpress IS the best at this… to my shame :(

Hmm not sure how to do this. Here is the site that I was looking at http://trying-to-write-right.blogspot.com. Does the RSS thing mean that I have to put each individual URL into a separate RSS widget to achieve the same effect? Sorry if I’m sounding a bit thick…..
-
One URL / blog per Widget – but each Widget will display more than one Post from the same blog.
If you want to have the RSS feed for three blogs you will need to have three RSS Widgets.

Ok, I understand now. That will take me a while to do. Tomorrow me thinks. Many many thanks for your help.

I have the same problem as sally has. I want to see the list of my blogroll, with a small picture and the last post.
My blogroll looks now like a sad list of url files.
In other blogs, for example blogger, it looks better. Take a look at this one http://irinagazolina.blogspot.com/ which is what I want,
And now take a look at my sad list http://bulendre.wordpress.com/
is there any chance to improve mine, without moving my blog?
thank you!

I’m sorry but the JavaScript Blogroll widget used on Blogger (blogspot) blogs cannot be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. auxclass has pointed to the widgets we can use on our blogs here. -

@bulendre
Yes. As auxclass stated above:
Use a RSS Widget in your sidebar or footer
Dashboard >> Appearance >> Widgets >> Drag & drop the RSS Widget
Widgets » RSS Widget -
http://bulendre.wordpress.com/ here is the result, I have added to RSS. I still don’t know do display the pictura. Can you help me to set-up the widget’s properties?
thanks

Please read this support documentation entry and note that there is no option in the RSS widget configuration for displaying an image.
