Al-Muhajabah's Movable Type Tips

The lists of recent entries, recent comments, and recent pings are all done using the default MT tags.

For recent entries, use <MTEntries lastn="10">

For recent comments, use <MTComments lastn="10">. If the MTComments tag is not used in the context of a specific entry (as it is on the individual archive page and in the comments listing), it will automatically display the comments from your entire blog.

For recent pings, use <MTPings lastn="5">. Like with MTComments, MTPings will show the pings from your entire blog if you don't use it in the context of a specific entry.
