Subject: Request from Jenera Healey
Jenera says, "I'm trying some new things with my template and I'd like to add a Recent Posts section in and I know you have one. How did you get that in your template? I'm having a heck of a time trying to get it in there!"
What's the answer El-Tel? I seem to remember we worked on this one when I first switched to the new template.

Must admit that this one caused a bit of consternation because, as David mentions in his email, we DID work together on his template when he did the switch.
The BAD news is that it isn't possible to incorporate the feature into Jenera's template. Simple reason:
- Jenera is using NEW-Blogger.
- David is still using OLD-Blogger!
There is no doubt that NEW-Blogger is much more user-friendly and that it has introduced a 'drag-and-drop' feature, but at the same time the designers have integrated certain features. The 'Recent Posts' feature is one of them, and has been integrated into the 'Archives' feature which, in turn, has been expanded to allow different displays of the archived posts.
Win some! Lose some! But I will continue to investigate if it is possible to split the two.
