Creating “Best Of” Posts Widget

Can you explain what you mean by “MY selection of best of posts.”

What is your criteria for that selection?

Is it post ID?
Is it posts in a given Category?
Is it posts with a specific Tag?
…

Michael,

Thanks for the prompt reply. The criteria are entirely subjective. I would select those posts that I think are most relevent so I guess selection could be by post ID or similar mechanism.

You could use something like Alex Kings article plugin, which uses a custom field to mark the posts you want, then put the <?php aka_show_articles(); ?> tag in your sidebar (or use Otto’s execphp widget.).

Michael,

Based on your first post, I found James Lao’s category posts plugin and widget which works very well.
