Three Recent Posts

This plugin displays the three most recent posts published on your blog in a meta box on the post editor screen.

About This Plugin

The purpose of this plugin is to demonstrate how to take an idea of a plugin from the standpoint of rapid application development to a well-design plugin.

How It Works

  1. Upon activation, the plugin will add a meta box to the standard post editor screen.
  2. The meta box will display the last three posts that were published (or none, if there were none).
  3. The purpose is to make it easy to queue them up in your social network sharing of choice.
