WordPress Wednesday: Multisite Latest Posts Widget

Published on Sep 15, 2010   //  WordPress

Do you have multiple blogs, perhaps within the same blog network? Do you have readers on one website that just may be interested in what you’ve been writing on some of your other sites? Wouldn’t it be great if you could have some cross-site traffic in a truly organic and natural way? Well, there’s a new plugin designed specifically for this purpose.

The suitably named Multisite Latest Posts Widget is a plugin that will give you a new widget that can then be placed in your WordPress blog sidebar. The widget displays not only the latest posts from within the current blog, but it can also pull the latest posts from other blogs and amalgamate them into one unified list.

This widget plugin will only work with multisite-enabled WordPress sites, but its functionality is fantastic for people who own and run multiple blogs. The plugin allows you to change the title of the widget and define the number of posts to show. It will also show the post’s stripped down content if the post’s excerpt is empty.

Grab the free download from the official WordPress Plugin Directory at WordPress.org.
