Thanks to a head's up from Lawrence Lee at Userland, I'm testing out a list of titles of recent posts in the navigation column of this page.

OK, the first try was ugly. I've now put .recentPostTitle and .recentPostWhen into the style sheet in the template with the same characteristics as the .small style. Let's see if that helps....

The news from the middle east over the weekend made me sad and frustrated and brought to a head some of my thoughts about the politics of the region, so I wrote a short essay at Junk Mail (The Case Against Peace in the Middle East).

Then I copied it into my new "outspoken" category but I felt like it didn't necessarily belong on the home page here.

Then I realized that I did want people to see it, so I added it to the home category.

Then I realized that my RSS feed is picking up entire stories (how do I get my RSS feed to pick up only a short abstract of each story?), so I unchecked the home category and decided to post this pointer here. Posting this to my home page so it will show up in my basic RSS feed
