<p>A plugin to add a sidebar widget that presents a list of posts from “this Day/Week/Month” last year.</p>
<p>A feature of the sidebar that I like is the ability to “bring back” posts from the past. That is, the blog chronology constantly pushes great content into the archives. This sidebar widget, Last Year, brings posts from this day, week or month last year back to the fore!</p>
