Text box right hand side home page + recent posts

[unitedstarminds]

Hi

I did not see response to my answer so reposting. Please help.

1) how can i add a text box on the right hand side on my home page so I can add a daily "inspiration comment'

2) How can i increase the Recent posts listing on the right column on home page it only shows 5 listings

3) How can I add an archive on the home page on the right column as widget or what, I tried but can't get it to work

Thanks
Mandip

You have 4 choices:

1. You can to edit sidebar_right.php and write your own widget.[/*:m:1ubm4ht9]
2. You can add a text widget to the right sidebar, but that will remove the Quick Search and Recent Posts boxes.[/*:m:1ubm4ht9]
3. You can edit sidebar_right.php to include the current boxes and the widgets form choice 2.[/*:m:1ubm4ht9]
4. Hire a StudioPress Approved Designer.[/*:m:1ubm4ht9]

Edit sidebar_right.php (Change the 5 to the post count you prefer.):

<li id="recent-posts">
    <div class="widget">
        <h2>Recent Posts</h2>
            <ul>
                <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?> [/list]    </div>

What do you mean by an archive and what do you mean "can't get it to work"? What specifically happened when you tried?
