   Hi, I'm trying to get blog posts written by random users to appear in a section like 'Latest Blog Posts' on the home page. At the moment the main page only seems to show posts written by the admin, and their responses from whoever - but how would user blog posts show up too?

   Using Wordpress 2.8.1 and Buddypress 1.0.3

   Thanks!

   You'll need a most recent posts plugin & widget (if you want a widget).

   Thanks Andrea - I've added Sebastien Berthiau's "Recent Posts Embed" but while I get the widget appearing on the main home page, it only says "RECENT SITE WIDE POSTS - There are no recent blog posts, why not write one?" even after logging in on another browser and creating another blog.

   My main Wordpress blog is on http:_____.com/tmc/wpmu/ and the other user test blog is on http:_____.com/tmc/wpmu/mikegmail/. Even with the test user having the "Recent Posts Embed" activated, the same empty message appears even on that user's page after a new post. Hmm.

   Most of the recent posts plugins & widgets I know exclude the following:
   - hello world posts
   - non-public blogs
