Ektron CMS400.Net Reference
The BlogRecentPosts server control displays a list of recent blog post links on a Web form. When a site visitor clicks a link, he is directed to the blog post. The NumberofPosts property lets you control how many links appear.
Typically, this control is displayed with other individual Blog server controls. See Also: Using Blog Server Control vs. Individual Blog Controls
