    Oh yeah! I forgot all about that, thanks. Do you have any idea how I can edit the colors of the widgets?

    My theme is not widget-ready and i don’t need it to be, since i want to realize multi-language navigation with different sidebars for every category. For that reason i want to list the X latest entries’ titles from category Y in my sidebar. How do i manage this? I could not find a propriate function in the template tag catalogue.

    Well, okay, i finally found the default template tag for getting recent entries:

    <?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>

    But that doesn’t allow to sort recent entries by category. Can’t i get something like the_category() with only posttitles displaying in the sidebar?

    <? foreach (get_posts(‘numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=category’) as $p): ?>
    <? setup_postdata($p); ?>
    <!– do the_loop stuff here –>
    <? endforeach; ?>

    This is explained right off the wordpress template tags page:
