More posts wanted on sidebar
-
We are working with Bueno
We have two (categories) and are finding it difficult keeping a desired amount of post links visible on the sidebar.
Ideally we would love it if only the Post Topic (ie- Paris) was visible on the sidebar… sans thumbnail. Is that possible?
Also, is there any way to increase the number of posts visible on the homepage sidebar?
Thank you very much
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please post an active link to the blog in question starting with http://
If and only if you are referring to a free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.com please see what I link to nelow so you are clear on how the theme is coded to operate. We cannot edit theme or templates here at wordpress.com — we cannot change functionality.

@TSP
I think this may be the blog in question. http://caseyhatfield.wordpress.com/ That’s why I posted what I did above. :) -
yes, the blog in question is: http://caseyhatfield.wordpress.com.
For right now, the blog has to main themes: Our Wedding and Travel. After the wedding, the site will be about travel only. The hope is to have all travel places (posts) viewable on the side bar.
Thanks again

If you don’t select anything, the widget will display your latest five posts. If you select a tag, the widget will display the latest five posts tagged with that tag. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/featured-postsimages-in-bueno/

The problem with having “all” posts listed in the sidebar is that once you get 300 or 400 posts, can you imaging how long that list is going to be? Once the list gets to 50 or so, no one will bother looking through the entire list of post titles. Web surfers in general have the attention span of a gnat and it gets shorter by the day.
In my opinion, you would be much better off to organize the posts by category and then let people choose the category of posts they are interested in. This puts things into manageable chunks rather than on overwhelming list.
If you still want to do that, you can use the archive shortcode in a text widget something like this.
[archives format=html]The “format=html” presents the posts in an unordered list (bulleted).

To see what I mean, visit my blog here and the first widget is an archive shortcode list like I reference above with just short of 400 posts on that blog.

You can also do it as a pulldown using the below code, but very long pulldowns are nasty to navigate and people simply won’t bother. Above the unordered list in the above referenced blog, I have the pulldown so you can try it.
`[archives format=option]
