If you use custom post types, you may wish to display recent posts of a custom type in place of recent posts on your front page. A common example is showcasing your portfolio on your front page, with posts being shown elsewhere.
With this plugin, you can select a post type other than “Posts” for the latest posts shown on the front page.

When you have your website set to use a static front page, you may want to show a list of your most recent blog posts, too.
This plugin will show the title, excerpt, and link of your most recent blog posts at the bottom of your front page. You can customize the following options:
<ul>
<li>The number of posts to show </li>
<li>The category to show posts from (default: “All Categories”)</li>
<li>Whether the posts should display horizontally or vertically </li>
<li>The text of the “Read More” link </li>
<li>The title of the section (default: “Latest Posts”) </li>
</ul>
CSS can be used to adjust styling. The following IDs and classes are used:
<ul>
<li>mbdslp (ID) – wraps the entire Latest Posts output </li>
<li>mbdslp_title (ID) – title of the section (ie “Latest Posts”) </li>
<li>mbdslp_table (ID) – the table used for horizontal display </li>
<li>mbdslp_post_title (class) – title of the individual post </li>
<li>mbdslp_post_text (class) – excerpt of the individual post </li>
<li>mbslp_read_more (class) – individual “Read More” link</li>
</ul>
