Template Tag : wp_get_archives

Alrite I found a get_posts() tag..is that the answer? Or is there a better way ?

hello ? anybody knows the answer ?

thats great..no reply ..was very helpful

I use a plugin for that (=displaying last several posts from a category in the sidebar) and it works perfectly.
