<p>The website of the brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo has a nice way to<br />
display news in a retrospective-style (check <a href="http://blog.tiagomadeira.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/estadao.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc">this<br />
screenshot</a><br />
or <a href="http://www.estadao.com.br/especiais/choque-nas-ruas,158638.htm" rel="nofollow ugc">this link</a><br />
— Flash required).</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be nice if we could display WordPress posts in our pages and<br />
categories in the same way just by using a shortcode? The possibilities are<br />
many. That’s why I wrote the Retrospective plugin for WordPress.</p>
<p>It has at least two advantages over the version you just saw:</p>
<ul>
<li>Does not require Flash (its implementation uses only CSS and jQuery)</li>
<li>Has a option to respect the (time-)scale of the posts.</li>
</ul>
<p>See <em>Installation</em> for more info on how to use it.</p>


Retrospective

Retrospective plugin displays last posts or posts from a specific category in a nice-looking "retrospective" way using a shortcode.

<h4>User friendly navigation</h4>
<p>With page numbers instead of next and previous links users can easily navigate much quicker to the page they want. It is good for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as well, because it creates a tighter inner link structure. Works with all well known browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari).</p>
