  I am currently using the recent post widget, but is there a way to get it to display recently added pages as well, or do i need a seperate widget… does said widget even exist? Basically I want to be able to have an automated recent updates (regardless of page/post/link/etc. in the side bar.) an ideas?

  I don’t think there is – it would make a great feature request though.

  Please understand that we cannot even begin to offer to help you unless or until you post the complete URL starting with http:// for the blog in question.

  The wordpress Recent Posts widgets displays Recent Posts and automatically updates when you publish. It does not display static Pages. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/recent-posts-widget/

  If you wish you can create your own widget by using a Text Widget and entering the titles linked to the appropriate URLs but it will NOT automatically update. You will have to update it manually.
